Attached to a foot is a label, reading: BIRD.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTwo hundred years in the future, Arno's pre-programmed, machine-controlled day takes an unexpected turn when nature intercedes. Arno wakes each morning when his personalized \"MiniMachine\" tells him it's time. The MiniMachine squawks at him all day: \"Eat your Instant Mealtime,\" \"Wait for the school jet,\" \"Go to your electric tuba lesson,\" \"Do not step off the Power Path\"..... But Arno's curiosity and a little yellow bird lead Arno off his pre-programmed track. \"Go Back to Your Class!\" squawks the MiniMachine with increasing alarm. Arno's mischievousness will delight young readers. And Seymour Chwast's illustrations, including his Seuss-like mechanical inventions, are both charmingly old-fashioned and presciently futuristic. A gentle corrective to our infatuation with electronics, Arno and the MiniMachine is a sweet reminder of the joy of nature and following one's own path.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44606531174442,"sku":null,"price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0152\/7041\/2388\/files\/9781609808792_643b4.jpg?v=1784744293","url":"https:\/\/booksofwonder.com\/products\/9781609808792","provider":"Books of Wonder","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
