Fortunately, the Milk

Written by: Neil Gaiman

First line: There was only orange juice in the fridge.

Why you should read this book: Oh, no! There's no milk for the breakfast cereal and Mom's going out of town and Dad is probably a bit scattered and not to be depended on, even though he does promise to get the milk. It just takes him an extraordinarily long time, and when the kids demand his excuse for the delay, it takes many, many pages for Dad to spin a ridiculous yarn featuring pirates, aliens, vampires, sentient, time-traveling dinosaurs, an angry volcano god, a hot air balloon, and numerous other outlandish obstacles to breakfast.

Why you shouldn't read this book: It's incredibly silly.
