Fortunately, the Milk . . .
Neil Gaiman, Chris Riddell
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.

I thought the book was really funny, especially when Professor Steg refers to a hot air balloon as a "Floaty-Ball-Person-Carrier". Professor Steg calls lots of objects funny names.

Very odd. I liked the way it was written, where the child was telling it, but he wrote everything that his dad said.

This book was very funny and I loved how the monsters had weird names and they looked cute. Also my favourite character was the pirate because she is bossy like me, and she is sassy and she is kind like me because she lets the dad into the ship.
