When dad goes out to pick up milk for his children, he is gone for what the children consider a very long time. When he returns, they ask him what took him so long. He tells them about the adventures he encountered returning home with the milk. His children refuse to believe that a trip to the corner store would cause such an array of unfortunate situations; from being captured by aliens and pirates, to making his escape and meeting a time traveling Stegosaurus. How will he convince his children that he is telling the truth?
Fortunately, the Milk by Neil Gaiman is a humorous story about a father explaining to his children the reason behind his tardiness. Readers will laugh at the unfortunate events that take place as a father tries to make his way home to feed his children breakfast. The illustrations throughout the story will entertain readers until the final page. This would be a great story for children grades 3-6. It would also make for a great read aloud.
