DescriptionFrom the million-copy bestselling author David Walliams comes a side-splitting animal space adventure that will have readers of all ages in stitches. Astrochimp follows the hilarious exploits of Chump the chimpanzee, a cheeky and mischievous primate with a penchant for causing trouble.
Chump is notorious among the other animals for his odd behaviours. He delights in making rude noises from both ends, picking his nose with his little toe, and eating the skins of bananas while hurling the tasty part aside. His antics quickly catch the attention of NASA’s scientists, who believe Chump could be the perfect candidate for a ground-breaking experiment: if a chimp can orbit Earth, surely a human can too.
Unbeknownst to Chump, he has been chosen for a perilously dangerous mission. With the fate of space exploration resting on his furry shoulders, Chump finds himself at the helm of a spacecraft. But what could possibly go wrong with a naughty chimp in control? The answer: everything.
Join Chump as he sets off on this wild adventure, encountering a host of eccentric and outrageous characters along the way, including dog space pirates and sinister insects. With each page filled with amazing and colourful illustrations, David Walliams' Astrochimp is a richly detailed and fantastically funny space opera that is sure to delight.
Blast off with Chump and lose yourself in this riotously funny tale of space exploration, bravery, and cheek. This irresistible story is a must-read for anyone who loves a good laugh and an even better adventure.
