In Astrochimp, David Walliams sends the least likely hero into space — in a fully illustrated, comic-style adventure.
Chump the chimp is noisy, messy, and proudly ridiculous. He makes rude noises, eats bananas the wrong way around, and never quite does what he’s supposed to. Naturally, NASA decides he’s the perfect candidate for a space mission. 🐒
What follows is total chaos: space travel gone wrong, absurd danger, strange creatures, and jokes packed into every spread. The fast pace, bold visuals, and graphic-novel energy make it especially inviting for kids who enjoy pictures as much as text.
This isn’t a quiet chapter book. It doesn’t slow down. It blasts off!
Recommended age: 7–11 – Perfect for confident young readers, reluctant readers, and anyone who loves humor, comics, and wildly silly adventures.
