Fortunately, The Milk . . .

Fortunately, The Milk is a charming picture book about a dad left in charge while mom is away, and a missing carton of milk that launches a wildly clever, giggle-worthy quest. Blending whimsy, adventure, and warm humor, this children’s book is perfect for ages 4–8 and for families who love read-aloud moments filled with imagination. In Fortunately, The Milk, Neil Gaiman’s playful storytelling meets Chris Riddell’s enchanting illustrations to create a rhythm of text and image that invites kids to lean in, turn the page, and discover what happens next. The story unfolds in bright, brisk scenes that move from everyday kitchen life to extraordinary detours—time travel, pirates, talking animals, and other deliciously absurd twists—without ever losing its heart. The collaboration between a master storyteller and a celebrated illustrator makes the experience feel magical and comforting, a trusted doorway into a world where curiosity leads to delightful chaos. Riddell’s art and Gaiman’s voice work together to make this more than a book: it’s a shared adventure that rewards re-reading with new details and discoveries on every page. The text is lively and accessible, designed for read-aloud sessions and independent reading alike, while the illustrations provide extra laughter, suspense, and warm, cozy moments that kids and parents will treasure.
