{"product_id":"book-13kn","title":"The Sing-Song of Old Man Kangaroo","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this spirited Just So Story from Rudyard Kipling, pride sets the pace-and endurance shapes destiny.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLong before he hopped across the Australian plains, Old Man Kangaroo was a small, woolly creature with an oversized opinion of himself. Determined to be different from all other animals-and wonderfully run after-he makes his wish to the powerful god Nqong. The answer arrives not by magic words or gentle spells, but in the form of an endless chase led by the ever-hungry Yellow-Dog Dingo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcross deserts, salt-pans, grasslands, and rivers, Kangaroo runs, leaps, and finally hops-his legs stretching longer, his balance shifting, his shape forever altered by necessity. The pursuit is tireless, rhythmic, and faintly absurd, carried along by Kipling's musical language and sly humor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart fable, part origin myth, and part comic song of endurance, The Sing-Song of Old Man Kangaroo is a classic tale of transformation achieved the hard way-through effort, repetition, and a very long run. Narrated with warmth and energy by Paul Landergan, this timeless story delights listeners of all ages with its wit, rhythm, and unforgettable voice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Author's Republic","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":50752658702640,"sku":"BD13kn","price":3.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/13kn-Square-cover.jpg?v=1770708681","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-13kn","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
