Fortunately the Milk by Neal Gaiman

  • Annotation:
Mom’s away. There is no milk for breakfast. So Dad heads out on a mission. When he finally returns, Dad explains that his trip included a time-traveling hot-air balloon ride with a stegosaurus, pirates, ponies, aliens, wumpires, and a volcano god...but he never lost possession of the milk! The illustrations add to the fun. You’ll enjoy this one, with or without milk!
  • Book Talk:
It's a bummer when your mom goes out of town: annoying stuff happens, such as running out of milk when you normally don't, and your dad has to leave you to go get some. This is exactly what brings about a run-in with space aliens, you know? I'm serious. They're out there, waiting. This is part of what dad said he encountered:
1.    Space aliens who want to re-decorate our earth, replacing trees with pink flamingos.
2.    Pirates who have never heard of walking a plank. Duh!
3.    A time-traveling stegosaurus who wears goggles and owns a time machine cardboard box.
4.    Dinosaurs who love cereal, but they eat theirs dry.
5.    Vampires with a lisp, called wumpires. Check out their accents.
6.    Three dwarves with flowerpots on their heads who do a little dance.
