"I bought the milk," said my father. "I walked out of the corner shop, and heard a noise like this: t h u m m t h u m m. I looked up and saw a huge silver disc hovering in the air above Marshall Road."
"Hullo," I said to myself. "That's not something you see every day. And then something odd happened."
Find out just how odd things get in this hilarious New York Times bestselling story of time travel and breakfast cereal, expertly told by Newbery Medalist and bestselling author Neil Gaiman and illustrated by Skottie Young.

I liked this book. It was a quick easy read.But "unfortunately" this book was kind of my type so I kind of liked this book.
Fortunately, the Milk is a great book for summer reading. It's fun and easy to read. If you are bored this summer, I recommend this book.
Was does every father forget when they go to the store? Fortunately, the Milk is an epic sort-of romp through the mind of Neil Gaiman. You can't help but laugh as the wild tale of pirates, aliens, and doppelgangers unfolds.
This was a fun, crazy, exciting, and relaxing read. It is kind of about milk, and how not having milk turns out to be a big problem. I bet you guys are like WHAT!?!? But yes it's true this story was very adventurous, humorous, and hectic. When their mom goes away, their mom reminds the father to ALWAYS have milk with you, and then when the children finds out they have no milk, they start to get a little crazy. So the dad went on a trip to get milk and had a crazy way to get. Including riding on a hot air balloon with a dinosaur and meeting all sorts of people like pirates. This book brought a smile to my face and had me relaxed.
Read it slowly and read it aloud. I cannot remember the last time I read a book that had me smiling and laughing the whole way through.
I just finished this book and it was great. The pictures are awesome and it starts of really slow . I really like how the main character interacts with different creatures.
I liked this book because it was funny.I also like this book because the aliens want trees to be plastic flamingos and clouds to be scented candles and the moon to be a decorative plate.This book is about when the father in the story goes out to get milk for his children.He meets weird things like aliens , talking dinosaurs,pirates and wumpires .He goes through time on a Floaty-Ball-Person-Carrier with a stegosaurus named Professor Steg.
This book is really good! Its really funny! The characters where very interesting. This is a very fun summer read! I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a short book to read this summer!
I hope nothing like this ever happens to my dad while my mom is away! I loved this book. The dad is so funny. So many cool things happen.
