Fortunately, The Milk




Fortunately, The Milk by Neil Gaiman     101 pages
One morning, after their mother has gone away on a trip, the kids realize that they are out of milk for breakfast so their father decides to go get some.  He is gone for a terribly long time and when he comes back he tells the kids a fantastic story about why he was late, that includes aliens, pirates, a stegosaurus, a volcano, the Eye of Splod, and a Floaty-Ball-Person-Carrier, just to name a few.  This is pure Neil Gaiman and is a lot of fun.  A great read for kids who like humor.  Reluctant readers will like that it is short with a lot of white space and illustrations.
