On August 27, 1883, the volcano-island of Krakatoa erupted with such force that it was completely destroyed. The explosion could be heard from thousands of miles away, and triggered an immense tsunami that killed nearly 40,000 people. And that was just the beginning.
In this New York Times bestseller, Simon Winchester, author of The Professor and the Madman, explores the worldwide impact of the Krakatoa catastrophe. The effects of the tsunami were felt as far away as France. Barometers in Washington, D.C. went haywire. And dust from the volcano drifted into Earth's atmosphere, where it caused temperatures around the globe to plummet. Krakatoa gives us an entirely new historical and geological perspective on an unforgettable natural disaster. Simon Winchester's many books include The Professor and the Madman, The Map That Changed the World, Krakatoa, and A Crack in the Edge of the World. Each has been a New York Times bestseller and has appeared on numerous "best" and "notable" lists. Mr. Winchester was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 2006. He lives in Western Massachusetts. "Brilliant ... One of the best books ever written about the history and significance of a natural disaster." -- New York Times Book Review--Chicago Sun-TimesBinding Type: Paperback

Quality Toy
Size: 15", Style: Duck
Fun durable toy for tough chewers. Material is durable and long lasting, however can unravel with extended chewing or pulling. A favorite of our dogs. Easy to throw and toss in a game of fetch.

My grand furbaby loves this yellow duck!
Size: 15", Style: Duck
I bought this yellow duck as a gift for my grand furbaby about 2 years ago. It turned out to be his favorite toy and it lasted for quite some time. So, I have bought several of them and when I go to stay with him in the summer, I take him a brand new yellow duck. He carries it around with him and he loves it! Favorite toy!

My 13lb dog loves these! But tears them up in no time!
Size: 15", Style: Rabbit
I’ve bought many of these, in different styles. My dog knows it as “bunny”, so if you tell him to “go get bunny”, this toy (or one of the other characters we’ve bought) comes back in his mouth. He loves to chase it, play tuggy, and whip his head back and forth with the poor thing. He turns these into threads hanging on to rope in no time. You’d think they would be super durable, but they don’t surprise him very long. I can’t rate higher than a 3 star, because I think they are made well but he’s just really tough on them and I keep buying one version or another because he loves bunny. LOL

Durable & fun
Size: 15", Style: Rabbit
These are great pulls, long lasting. The rope in different parts make it interesting to your pet. My only issue is, I did not receive the gray animal I ordered. It was substituted by a brown one. I’ve owned six of these. The dogs have loved them all BUT neither of them will touch this brown one. I’ve tried several games with it. They run, take a sniff, & leave it. This one was a wasted $10.

Keep these in our pet toy collection at all times.
Size: 15", Style: Rabbit
My 4 dogs love this toy so much I have them all over to play with. The inside helps make this adorable toy last for longer than most dog toys and for the price this means ALOT to me for the value of my money.
This dog toy is soft and fun to throw around the house and not break anything as they chase it around. What dog doesn't love a squeaker toy also for an added bonus. The squeaker doesn't last long with 4 large dogs, but long enough I feel like for the price I paid.
