Those madcap Space Monkeys aren’t just pestering Kaylee in the engine room…they’re right here – as Kids Need to Read continues Monkey Madness Auctions, featuring our collection of adorable 15” high plush monkeys, each wearing a shirt with “Terrify’n Space Monkey” hand painted on the front by our fabulous KNTR kid, Kelly. They are also proudly sporting a Kids Need to Read mini-button.
This week’s Space Monkey’s shirt has been signed by actress Jewel Staite – unquestionably the best ship’s mechanic in the ‘verse! Whether you became a fan through Firefly/Serenity, or just recently discovered her talents on Stargate: Atlantis, you will be thrilled with this personalized collectible!
We are truly grateful to Jewel Staite for signing our Monkey, to Sean Harry of Starfury USA for assisting our organization in acquiring signatures, and to Marty Dwyer and Denise Gary for donating the space monkeys to benefit Kids Need to Read.
