Fortunately, the Milk by Neil Gaiman, Illustrated by Skottie Young
Published by: HarperCollins

What it’s about (from Goodreads):

"I bought the milk," said my father. "I walked out of the corner shop, and heard a noise like this: T h u m m t h u m m. I looked up and saw a huge silver disc hovering in the air above Marshall Road."

"Hullo," I said to myself. "That's not something you see every day. And then something odd happened."

Find out just how odd things get in this hilarious story of time travel and breakfast cereal.

Our thoughts:
 
I adore Gaiman's creative mind. His books are always a fantastic adventure, and this one is no different. The child narrator is spot-on and the illustrations of the book add so much to the story.

It's hilarious and the perfect read-aloud book.

We would recommend this to:

Parents or grandparents who want a fun book to read aloud to the kids in their lives, anyone who just wants a fun distraction, kids of all ages
