Muchas gracias. Fue muy divertido leer este libro mientras comía pizza, mi mamá dijo “qué asco” muchas veces. Datos muy guays y divertidos para aprender. Las imágenes del libro son super divertidas. Buen libro para niños como yo (tengo 10 años). Genial libro y recomiendo a todos los niños. ¡Me encanta este libro! ¿Alguien lo va a comprar? ¿Quieres que te diga de qué va? Pues lo siento no hay spoilers vas a tener que leer el libro. DE PROFESORESHe usado este libro para que mis alumnos tengan algo divertido para leer y luego escribir sobre él. Les he ido dando una sección del libro cada semana, así que han empezado a llamarlo “Viernes pedorros”. Regalé este libro a mi hijo de 5º de primaria, ¡y ahora su profesor le pide que comparta un hecho sobre pedos todos los viernes! DE PADRES Y MADRES – TÍOS Y TÍAS – ABUELOS Y ABUELASHoy en día es complicado conseguir que los niños desconecten. Le compré este libro a mi hijastro por Navidades y todos hemos disfrutado de los datos tan divertidos del libro. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente para cualquier niño, incluso para su marido porque, seamos sinceros, los chicos están obsesionados con los pedos. Muy recomendado. Mi hijo apenas puede leer el libro porque no para de reírse. Tiene 9 años. Mi hijo se rio tanto que tuvo que ir al baño 17 veces. Lo compré como regalo de última hora para mis nietos de 7 y 8 años. No sé quién se divirtió más leyendo los chistes: abuelo, padre o nieto. Hasta mi madre se puso a contarnos chistes. Lleno de diversión y risas. Mi hijo de 12 años disfrutó de este libro. Nos cuesta mucho conseguir que lea cualquier libro. Compramos este con la esperanza de que lo leyese durante un largo viaje en coche. Después de leer muchas reseñas, lo compré y ¡bingo! Estuvo riéndose desde el asiento trasero, partiéndose de risa, compartiéndolo con su hermano de 14 años, leyendo partes del libro a su padre. Le compré este libro a mi hijo de 10 años. Las risas que salían de su cuarto mientras leía nos alegraron el día. Humor perfecto para chicos. Muy recomendado!! Conseguir que los niños lean es complicado, pero no si es sobre pedos. Si tienes un niño pequeño este libro les encantará. Mi hijo y yo lo hemos leído unas 12 veces ya, y ha sido todo un éxito. Compré este libro para mi niño porque todos sabemos que los pedos son muy divertidos para los niños… quiere saber por qué eructamos, nos tiramos pedos, nos suena el estómago… si tiene algo que ver con ruidos corpor

La gran serpiente
by Pierre LemaitreDivertida, inmoral, jugosa: así es la primera novela negra de Pierre Lemaitre. Siempre hay que desconfiar de las señoras de mediana edad bien vestidas, con aspecto de jubiladas y acompañadas de un dálmata espantadizo, como Mathilde Perrin, una viuda de sesenta y tres años algo entrada en carnes bajo cuya apariencia anodina se esconde una pistolera a sueldo de gatillo fácil y nervios de acero. Experimentada y diligente en el manejo de armas de gran calibre, capaz de dar esquinazo a la policía y agotar a sus perseguidores, esta veterana heroína de la Resistencia ejecuta sin piedad los encargos de un misterioso comandante cuando no está cuidando su jardín de las afueras de París. Sin embargo, los frecuentes descuidos y el mal carácter de la antaño perfeccionista Mathilde, que la vuelven cada vez más incontrolable y perturbadora, empiezan a preocupar a las altas esferas, dispuestas a deshacerse de ella antes de que sea demasiado tarde. Brillante combinación de una trama ingeniosa y precisa con un ritmo trepidante, La gran serpiente es la primera novela negra escrita por Pierre Lemaitre. Un tablero de asesinatos encadenados cargado de diálogos mordaces, escenas impactantes y grandes dosis de humor cáustico y descarnado. La crítica ha dicho...«Un logro absoluto: una lengua deliciosa, una trama perfecta, un tono sutilmente sarcástico.»Le Canard Enchaîné «Una novela suculenta, divertida y muy maliciosa.»Biblioteca «Negra, muy entretenida y completamente imprevisible.»Madame Figaro «Una delicia desde el principio hasta el final.»La Croix
Grand: A Memoir
by Sara SchaeferFor fans of Mennonite in a Little Black Dress and Let&’s Pretend This Never Happened, comedian and Emmy award–winning writer Sara Schaefer&’s hilariously honest memoir follows Sara&’s trip through the Grand Canyon with her sister that causes her to reflect on her childhood and the scandal that changed her family forever.When Sara Schaefer is in first grade, her father warns her to always tell the truth because one lie leads to another and soon you will find yourself in a hole you can&’t escape. A few years later, the Schaefer family is completely upended when it&’s revealed that their grand life is based on a lie. Her parents become pariahs in their upper middle class community and go from non-religious people to devout church members. The idea of good and evil as binary, opposed forces is drilled into Sara and it becomes the perfect framework on which to build her anxiety and increasingly-obsessive thoughts. The year she turns forty, Sara decides to take each member of her family on a one-on-one vacation culminating with a whitewater rafting journey through the Grand Canyon with her younger sister. The only problem is she&’s terrified of rafting. Along the way, she grapples with unresolved grief over the death of her mother and the family scandal that changed the trajectory of her life. Heartfelt, candid, and witty, Grand is a story about family, identity, and struggling to make something of yourself. Sara deconstructs her struggles with anxiety and depression, what it means to be a good person, and the radically discordant stories we tell ourselves and share with the world.

The Grand Design: A Novel
by John Dos PassosJohn Dos Passos's literary response to Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal, The Grand Design critiques the gargantuan growth of bureaucracy in Washington during the Great Depression and World War II. The satiric novel conveys the author's frustration with federal overreach and the hollow rhetoric that sells it to the people. "War is a time of Caesars," writes Dos Passos as he laments the death of idealistic, intelligent enterprises at the desks of elitist administrators. After witnessing the Spanish Civil War claim so many well-intentioned men, he advises caution for America's New Dealers: "Some things we have learned, but not enough; there is more to learn. Today we must learn to found again in freedom our republic."
The Grand Tour: A Novel
by Adam O'Fallon PriceA bitingly funny, smart and moving road novel about two hapless lost souls--an alcoholic Vietnam veteran turned bestselling author, and his awkward, shy college student superfan--who form an unlikely connection on the world's most disastrous book tour. Richard Lazar is advancing in years but regressing in life. After a career as a literary novelist that has ground to a halt and landed him in a trailer in Phoenix, Richard is surprised to find sudden success publishing a gritty memoir about his service in Vietnam. Sent on a book tour by his publishing house, Richard encounters his biggest (and really only) fan: an awkward, despondent student named Vance with issues of his own (an absentee father, a depressive mother, his own acute shyness). Soon Vance has volunteered to chauffeur Richard for the rest of the book tour, and the two embark on a disastrous but often hilarious cross-country trip. When things go wrong, Richard and Vance forge an unlikely bond between two misanthropes whose mutual insecurities and disdain for the world force both to look at each other, and their lives, in a more meaningful way.As they reach the end of the book tour, The Grand Tour ultimately becomes a moving tale of unlikely friendship that should catapult Adam O'Fallon Price into the company of such masters of All-American dyspepsia as Sam Lipsyte, David Gates and Walter Kirn.
