A story can be found in every moment, step, and nook & cranny in life. Even a quick trip out for milk can turn into an adventure. Especially with Neil Gaiman around! The man has once again stolen my heart, giggles, and smile with a nonstop, swashbuckling spin through time and space with pirates, aliens, and wumpires. Come on, let go, and allow your imagination to wander around in Neil Gaimans head for a bit. Our story begins in the kitchen.

My mum doesnt always believe me when I say Im sick, but my sister was sick yesterday so Mum said I could stay off school. BUT, she said, Dont think youre going to be lazing around watching TV and playing on the computer all day.That was bad news. That is, indeed, what I was planning on doing. :( I was bored, so Mum let me borrow her Kindle to read a book that was making her laugh,
I listened to this on audiobook during a car trip with my oldest boy, (Oot, Age 4.5).We both really enjoyed it. Though didn't get to see the illustrations, we got to hear Neil himself reading it, and he's a very, very good narrator. If you've never heard him reading his own stuff, you're really missing out.
Well I'm forty and some loose change years of age and I never, ever thought I'd be reading children's books again. I can't even remember reading them when I was a kid but Neil Gaimans 'are but aren't reeeeaaaally' children's books are an absolute delight, so much so, that I've bought all of them.

Loved this so much. Proving once again that its never too late to be a kid.
