Fortunately, The Milk by Neil Gaiman
Target audience: Grades 3 - 7
Summary:
"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, expertly told by Newbery Medalist and bestselling author Neil Gaiman and illustrated by Skottie Young.
Review:
The highly imaginative Neil Gaiman has done it again with "Fortunately, the Milk"! When Mom leaves for a conference the last thing she said is, "... We're almost out of milk. You'll need to pick some up." Soon the kids run out of milk for their breakfast and the dad needs it for his tea, so he finally decides to put down his newspaper to go to the store and pick up milk. He eventually returns with a fantastic and imaginative story of why it took him so long to return... with the milk. Filled with fun "Shel Silverstein"-like illustrations, this story is sure to please kids of all ages!
