The Men from P.I.G. and R.O.B.O.T.

A parent should reach for this book when their imaginative child is ready for a science fiction story that prioritizes humor and cleverness over intense action. This book contains two hilarious novellas about the adventures of Henry Gibbon, a Patrolman for Interstellar Grievances (P.I.G.), and his logical robot partner from Robot-Observer-Brain-Of-Tomorrow (R.O.B.O.T.). Together, they solve bizarre cosmic crises, from wrangling a planet-wrecking psychic pig to figuring out why colonists are mysteriously disappearing. The stories champion teamwork, creative problem-solving, and laughing at absurdity. Perfect for ages 8 to 12, it is a fantastic, lighthearted introduction to the sci-fi genre, encouraging kids to think outside the box and showing that the strangest solutions are often the best.
