La increíble historia de astrochimp / Astrochimp

Chimponauta: ¡la aventura en el espacio más desternillante de David Walliams!

Tito es un chimpancé un poco travieso: suelta tracas por arriba y por abajo todo el rato, se hurga la nariz con los dedos del pie y se come solo la piel de los plátanos (¡y no lo de dentro!).

Pero la NASA ha decidido que es el candidato perfecto para lanzarlo al espacio en una misión peligrosísima. Si un chimpancé puede orbitar la Tierra, entonces ¡los humanos también!
Con un chimpancé a los mandos de una nave espacial, ¿qué podría salir mal? Pues resulta que… TODO.

Adéntrate en una nueva e increíble historia del autor número uno, David Walliams. ¡Aventura y diversión aseguradas!

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

From million-copy bestselling author David Walliams comes a laugh-out-loud animal space adventure.

Chump the chimpanzee was always being silly. He would:

- make rude noises from BOTH ENDS…
- pick his nose with his little toe…
- eat the skins of bananas, hurling out the tasty part inside.

NASA’s scientists thought he’d be the PERFECT chimp to send into space. Little did Chump know that he had been selected for a deadly-dangerous mission. If a chimp could orbit Earth, then chances were a human could too.

With Chump the chimp at the controls of a spacecraft, what could possibly go wrong? As it turned out, EVERYTHING.

Blast off with Chump, and encounter dog space pirates, evil insects, and the silliest chimpanzee who ever lived in this wildly funny space opera, fully illustrated in fantastic colour.
David Walliams nació en Londres en 1971 y combina su faceta de actor con la de escritor de historias para jóvenes. A día de hoy ha publicado siete novelas, con las que ha ganado el apoyo del público y la crítica, convirtiéndose en el autor juvenil más vendido del momento en el Reino Unido. La prensa ya lo ha bautizado como «el Roald Dahl del siglo XXI».
