Skottie Young

When Mom goes away on a business trip, she leaves Dad with one very important rule: do not forget to buy the milk! Unfortunately, Dad forgets. The next morning, a brother and sister wake up to dry cereal and a father who must make a quick run to the corner store. But what should have been a simple errand turns into an impossibly long absence. When Dad finally returns, he has a wildly unbelievable story to explain his delay. His excuse involves a time-traveling stegosaurus in a hot-air balloon, a crew of grumpy pirates, a volcano god, and some very strange, globby green aliens. Oh, and a perfectly normal, highly important carton of milk that must be rescued at every turn! From the brilliant mind of Neil Gaiman comes a spectacularly silly, mind-bending adventure packed with hilarious illustrations. This fast-paced, laugh-out-loud tale of time travel and treachery will leave you wondering just how far a father will go to ensure his kids can enjoy their morning breakfast.
