Neil Gaiman’s latest book for young children is Fortunately, the Milk (Bloomsbury £
10.99), illustrated by Chris Riddell.
“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.”
