![]() ![]() The only criticism I have is that in a couple of places the time travel elements were a little tricky to understand. The illustrations are exceptional, Chris Riddle seems to have a tap directly into Gaiman’s brain! Kids will love the absurdity of it, and the knowing eyeroll they can have at the expense of clueless parents, while adults can laugh at the popular references and humour. There is so much to like about this book. The story is like ‘Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’ for the under 8’s and in 50 pages. ![]() The plot follows ‘Dad’ who goes out to get the milk and gets way-laid by aliens, disrupts the space/time continuim, takes a balloon ride with a talking stegosaurus, meets pirates and vamipes and Aztecs, and saves the world from remodelling. A delightfully whimsical tale that will delight young readers and adults alike. ![]()
