The Space Penguins series continues! If you've missed 'em, Space Penguins are a brilliant book series written Lucy Courtenay and illustrated by James Davies. These books follow the adventures of the penguin crew of starship Tunafish. Though the stories are aimed at young kids, they have riff on big sci-fi tropes in such pun-tastic way that they work as parodies for adults.
In the sixth book Monster Moon!, the crew of the starship Tunafish discover that one of the crewmates, Splash Gordon, has been nurturing an egg he discovered on their expeditions. And when the egg hatches, it comes a rush to deliver the hatchling home before it devours the spaceship from around them.
