Fortunately, the Milk by Neil Gaiman

Fortunately, the Milk

by Neil Gaiman

From multi-award-winning Neil Gaiman comes a spectacularly silly, mind-bendingly clever, brilliantly bonkers adventure - with lip-smackingly gorgeous illustrations by Chris Riddell.

Mum's away. Dad's in charge. There's no milk. So Dad saves the day by going to buy some.

Really, that's all that happens. Very boring. YAAAAAAAAAWN.

There are absolutely none of the following inside: GLOBBY GREEN ALIENS! INTERGALACTIC POLICE! PIRATES! And most definitely NOT a time-travelling hot-air balloon piloted by the brilliant Professor Steg ...

Don't miss this gloriously entertaining novel about time-travel, dinosaurs, milk and dads.

It is a very light read (it's a children's book after all) but you definitely "enter" the book, the story is very well told albeit intentionally far fetched, the illustrations are brilliant. Perfect for giving to a child who is just starting reading more complex stuff, or to read for a child, or simply to read in a rainy afternoon with a cup of tea!
