You know what it’s like when your mum goes away on a business trip and Dad’s in charge. She leaves a really, really long list of what he’s got to do. And the most important thing is DON’T FORGET TO GET THE MILK. Unfortunately, Dad forgets. So the next morning, before breakfast, he has to go to the corner shop, and this is the story of why it takes him a very, very long time to get back. Featuring: Professor Steg (a time-travelling dinosaur), some green globby things, the Queen of the Pirates, the famed jewel that is the Eye of Splod, some wumpires, and a perfectly normal but very important carton of milk. The award-laden, bestselling Neil Gaiman, author of The Ocean at the End of the Lane, Stardust, Neverwhere, The Graveyard Book and Coraline, brings his biggest ever publishing year to a spectacular conclusion with this gloriously entertaining novel about time-travel, dinosaurs, milk and dads..
My Review:
This is one of those books that were given to me for a while to read and enjoy and give back, so borrowing. And I did enjoy it about back in October of last year and I didn't write the review because I didn't own it and felt like I couldn't say that I enjoyed having this as a part of my collection and felt sad but since I did love it I will write the review here on my blog.
Once my friend told me they had this book I just couldn't say no to the offer of letting me borrow it. I've been curious about Neil Gaiman's writing style and of his brilliant stories for a while. So when I started reading this book I could tell that I did in fact like his style. The story was so brilliant and adorable in some places. It would have been grand if I had it as a kid, little me would have loved it.
I actually read it with my mother and she thought it was cute too. So 5 stars from me and my mom.
