Fortunately the Milk Neil Gaiman Skottie Young Books

This was an awesome read. We took it on vacation and were finished it far too soon. The lack of chapters means it flows just as it should, in one long, crazy, imaginative wild ride. My kids, husband and I all absolutely LOVED it and I recommend it to anyone looking for a fun adventure story that will engage their kids and not overwhelm them with long wordy chapters and deep concepts. Brilliant writing and fantastic illustrations! I would give 10 stars if I could! Hoping Neil Gaiman writes more like this.

Fortunately the Milk Neil Gaiman Skottie Young Books Reviews

I dare you to try and not like this book!

Why haven't I read anything by this author before? He's brilliant. I have completely missed out on his other books and I feel rather idiotic for not recognizing his name when Fortunately, the Milk came out.

I need to write Mr. Gaiman a letter declaring my undying love for his latest book. This is the kind of story that childhood is made of. It is an imaginative, nutty adventure of time travel and narrow escapes, all to save the milk. It is wacky and wonderful. I can't wait to read other books by this author. My love of the book is solidified in Skottie Young's amazing artwork. I can't get over his brilliance with a pen and ink. His characters have so much life to them! The pictures take the story to the next level.

This is a must have for a child's library. Highly recommended for ages 7 and up.
This was a really cute little story about a father that goes out on a quick errand, and the elaborate explanation he gives to his two waiting children after arriving home later than expected. I didn't know anything about this going into it beyond that I love both Neil Gaiman and Skottie Young, and I was pleasantly surprised by how fantastical it ended up being!

I loved the characters, and I loved the dad's storytelling. I'd definitely recommend this and will probably give it a reread in a few years when looking for something short & feel-good-y.
The first time I read FORTUNATELY, THE MILK, I was on a road trip with my sister's family. Her kids (9-year-old twin girls, 5-year-old boy) were antsy and bored, and begged to be read to. I had a new book that I thought they might enjoy, though I myself had not read it yet.

I read this book aloud to a carful of people who all ended up listening, whether or not they'd intended to. By the end, everyone was laughing--me, the kids, the kids' parents, and our cousin who had come along for the trip.

As soon as I finished the final words, the kids begged for it to be read again.

That's how I ended up reading a book aloud, twice in a row, on a car trip, and having more fun than should probably be allowed.

FORTUNATELY, THE MILK is fun, light-hearted, full of absurd British humor, and deeply sweet -- all about a father's love for his children (and his flair for creative storytelling). Read it. I don't care if you're grown. Read it anyway.
As a fifty-something adult, I should be embarrassed by the fact that I list a children's book as a recent read. But how can there be anything like embarrassment for something as darling as this silly, clever tale. I need to start volunteering to read to children at the local library for the sheer joy of reading this out loud some happy afternoon to little ones I can only hope will share my delight.
I love Neil Gaimans work. Anansi Boys, American Gods, etc. So, I thought this book would be a great introduction for my 7yr old. I detest reading all the heavily commercialized books, so I try and find good writing for my child to enjoy. I liked this book, and I was a little disappointed that my child just doesn't. The book is oddball and crazy, just what I thought a kid would enjoy, but she groans whenever I pull this book out. That said, once I start reading, she's rolling and squiggling with laughter. I just don't know. Maybe I should have waited a couple of years, but it's a good book and I'm not giving up the fight.
Fortunately the Milk is one of two Neil Gaiman books coming out this year. This book is not only a children's book written about a grown-up, but also an apology to father's everywhere. Having once written about a child swapping his dad for two goldfish, Neil Gaiman had shared that he felt like he put father's in a very bad light and the fact that the book has been given as a Father's Day gift over the years has made it worse. So he decided to make amends.

Fortunately the Milk is about what happens when a dad is allowed to go fetch the milk for the morning cereal and, if left unattended, all the wonderful mischief he can get into.

This book has everything from pirates to hot air balloon (sorry, Floaty-Ball-Person-Carrier) manned by a Stegosaurus to green mucus aliens to volcano gods and even to piranhas. Through it all, our brave parental unit keeps tight hold of the milk, but is it possible to keep the milk safe when it might just be the only thing between life and the complete destruction of the universe?

I found Fortunately the Milk to be witty, fantastical and just a little bit mad, in the best sense of the word. The illustrations are the perfect accompaniment to such a madcap adventure. This is a story that will appeal to both the young and the young at heart.
Love this story. Love the illustrations. Love this edition. If you want something quirky to read either out loud or to yourself, this is a great choice for any age. I read it aloud at least once a month to my kids, and my 3 yo asks for it even more frequently than that. My parents were present for a recitation and thought it was hilarious, too. The read takes a little over an hour, even with all the diffferent charcter voices and illustration examinations, and is definitely worth the time. Pirates, vampires, dinosaurs, volcanoes, unicorns, cannibals, hot air balloons... this book has it all! Highly recommnend!
