"The Instruction Manual," the first chapter, is an absurd assortment of tasks and items dissected in an instruction-manual format. "Unusual Occupations," the second chapter, describes the obsessions and predilections of the narrator's family, including the lodging of a tiger-just one tiger- "for the sole purpose of seeing the mechanism at work in all its complexity." Finally, the "Cronopios and Famas" section delightfully characterizes, in the words of Carlos Fuentes, "those enemies of pomposity, academic rigor mortis and cardboard celebrity-a band of literary Marx Brothers." As the Saturday Review remarked: "Each page of Cronopios and Famas sparkles with vivid satire that goes to the heart of human character and, in the best pieces, to the essence of the human condition."Binding Type: Paperback

Good for smaller jawed dogs.
Color: Orange
This ball is so much fun for our 5 month old. He both chases it and lets it bounce in his mouth. This was after playing with it already for 10 minutes. The ball charges with a usb charger and lasts for a long time. I do take it away to keep the toy fresh and prevent him from just chewing on it. I will say the ball startles you a bit when it turns on in your hand. Happy with a different toy.

Extremely durable, highly recommended!!
Color: Orange
This ball was a game changer for us!! I rehomed an extremely needy 110 pound one and a half year-old male Rott. This ball has been keeping him engaged for hours giving a much-needed break to me.😜 it actually stays charged a lot longer than I thought it would, and so far he is not chewed through it at all, which is incredible to me!! I think I’m gonna order another one so that I can have one charging while he plays with one and then switch off with them.

A hit for Border Collies
Color: Blue
Our border collie loves this toy! Keeps him entertained and when he throws it down it doesn't break open. Going strong for a couple days so far.

Best toy every
Color: Orange, Color: Orange
My husky loves it. It's one toy she's not been able to destroy yet. She plays without when she's outside in her lot and will play for an hr at a time. She loves it moves and bounces instead of just tossing it and letting her fetch. The battery life is really good. We charge it about twice a week. It's quiet, so she loves that. It's perfect size for her.
