El loco libro de las profesiones

Inca messengers running through the Andes, jesters who entertained kings and queens, dung collectors, body doubles… history is full of professions as strange as they are surprising! Within its pages, you'll discover incredible characters like Bessie Coleman, the first Black female stunt pilot; Zazel, the first female cannonball; the great Houdini, master of escape; and Marie Tussaud, who transformed wax into art. And that's not all: you'll also find animals that worked on amazing missions, such as toads employed by medical fraudsters, rats that located mines, and dogs that saved lives by warning of poison gas attacks in World War I. The illustrations, full of color and humor, turn each story into a small adventure: some pages resemble a comic book, others a picture book, always reflecting the personalities of the characters… even the animals speak through speech bubbles! A surprising, fun-filled journey packed with anecdotes that will make both children and adults laugh. And, to finish, a very special final quiz will help you discover what your most unusual profession would be.
