Dan Ariely

Mezcla de cuento, ciencia y cómic, esta historia acerca a los lectores más jóvenes al pensamiento de Dan Ariely, famoso divulgador de las ciencias de la conducta.


David se metió en graves problemas.

Por fortuna, tiene un aliado: Dot, un perro robot que sabe de ciencia. Así, gracias a unos audaces experimentos científicos, David se convierte en el Profesor D y demuestra que ningún adulto en casa puede dar lecciones de disciplina... Claro, eso a sus papás no les hace gracia, ¡y él sigue sin hacer la tarea! ¿Podrá nuestro héroe escapar de ella y del Alto Mando?


¡Y al final del libro encontrarás una guía para hacer experimentos como los de David!


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Fortunately, he has an ally: Dot, a robot dog who knows about science. Thus, thanks to some daring scientific experiments, David becomes Professor D and proves that no adult at home can give discipline lessons...
