It can’t just be me, right?įortunately, I can buy a copy of this book for myself (I checked it out from the library). So much fun! Also, I don’t know if it was just me, but the kids’ dad kind of looks like the Fourth Doctor. So Dad saves the day by going to buy some. Young’s illustrations make the story the father weaves feel as entertaining and as wild as the father’s story itself. From multi-award-winning Neil Gaiman comes a spectacularly silly, mind-bendingly clever, brilliantly bonkers adventure. THR reports Fortunately, the Milk will be adapted by Bret McKenzie, one-half of the New Zealand folk music comedy duo Flight of the Conchords and Oscar winner for his musical work on The Muppets. Everything feels a little over the top, much like the story does.

The illustrations complement the silliness and craziness of this story perfectly. The story is funny, creative, and full of adventure.įortunately, Skottie Young is a wonderful illustrator and brought this story to life. It is a whimsical tale of pirates, vampires, dinosaurs who are professors and world-renown for their time travel, piranhas, aliens, and more. He manages to escape, but meets a bunch of pirates, and so on and so forth until he finally makes it back home.įortunately, the story was completely engrossing and lovely. He is gone for a rather long time, and when he gets back he tells them that he was on his way home when he was abducted by aliens who wanted to redecorate the planet. The family runs out of milk, so the father sets out to the corner shop to buy some. When the book begins, the mother of a young boy and his little sister leaves for a trip. It is a delightfully light, funny, and enjoyable read. Fortunately, I was able to read this book.
