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.
This was good. Not great, but then, I haven't enjoyed Neil's MG as much as I'd hope. He's still a master storyteller, but it's obvious that I wasn't the target audience. Chris Riddell's art work is incredible here though, and I still like the concept of this quirky adventure.
