{"product_id":"9781544665788","title":"School-Room Humour","description":"Reasonably enough the idiom is extremely troublesome to the child-mind. \"The doctor says my mother has one foot in the grave,\" wrote a little girl the other day in a Composition Exercise. \"That is not true. She has both feet in bed!\" Again, if people will talk about \"going it bald-headed,\" or about being \"stony-hearted\" or \"iron-fisted\" or \"brazen-faced,\" and so on, they must naturally expect young children to accept the phraseology in its literal sense. Hence amusing misconceptions. Again, as I say, it is often a question of not having quite got the right word.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eDr. Macnamara\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eCreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eMar 16, 2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e64 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e1544665784\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781544665788\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49150437130545,"sku":"9781544665788","price":13.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9781544665788__95560_1b0ca4fc-b8f7-49f4-83be-d48ed5c9c6dd.jpg?v=1716220494","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9781544665788","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
