by Neil GaimanMother is away. Father has been given a long list of things to remember to do while he's in charge. He could recite the list by heart. Then comes the milk. How could he forget the milk. Cereal needs milk, more importantly his own tea needs milk. So off he goes to the corner store for the milk.
When it seems father has been gone far too long, the kids fear they'll have to resort to eating less than ideal breakfast foods. Then, dad shows up with the milk and a story about why he was late. An unbelievable story. The kids don't believe but dad claims to have the proof.
A fast fun ride through space and time. One of the Neil Gaiman stories that is perfect for all ages, probably the best he's he has written for children.
