INFANTIL

Un maravilloso libro para niños, padres, profesores o cualquier adulto que busque la inspiración en los valores que han hecho de La lección de August un gran éxito.

The first day at a new school is always the hardest, right? No, not always as George finds out the hard way. On the second day at…Sugarman Elementary School, he is suddenly seized by uncontrollable burps, burps so loud they practically break the sound barrier, burps that make him do wild and crazy stuff and land him in trouble with a capital T. One thing is for sure: these are not normal burps, they are magic burps—and they must be stopped! But how?

How much trouble can a burp get you into? A lot, if the burp is a magic one that makes you do wild and crazy stuff. George Brown is still trying his hardest to stay out of trouble at his new school. But his magic burps keep landing him in mega-trouble, like when George and his new pal Alex build a volcano for their school project. Or even worse, when George joins a band and performs in the school's talent show. Seems like no matter what he does, this kid's a trouble magnet!

In his continuing, but mainly disastrous, efforts to be an upstanding, responsible ten-year-old, George Brown decides it's time to earn some money. (There's also an expensive remote-controlled toy that he's been coveting.) But no matter what he tries—whether it's working at his mother's craft shop, opening a lemonade stand, or setting up a backyard circus for neighborhood kids—the magic burps erupt at exactly the wrong times and wreak havoc on George's entrepreneurial plans.

Si los niños y las niñas pueden entender la insensatez de la guerra, si se dan cuenta de lo fácil que es caer en un ciclo de violencia, quizás en el futuro se conviertan en impulsores de la paz. Nikolai Popov
