It’s about what happens when some kids’ dad goes out to get more milk. Its quirky humor, coupled with whimsical illustrations, makes it an entertaining read. In a letter to readers, Gaiman explains that his rationale for writing this story, about a father who has taken an excessively long time to return from the corner store with milk for his children’s breakfast, stems from his reconsideration of the father in The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish.
