A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

You know what it's like when your mum goes away on a business trip and dad's in charge. She leaves a really, really long list of what he's got to do and the most important thing is don't forget to get the milk. Unfortunately, dad forgets. So the next morning, before breakfast, he has to go to the corner shop, and this is the story of why it takes him a very, very long time to get back. Featuring: professor steg (a time-travelling dinosaur), some green globby things, the queen of the pirates, the famed jewel that is the eye of splod, some wumpires, and a perfectly normal but very important carton of milk. The award-laden, bestselling neil gaiman, author of the ocean at the end of the lane, stardust, neverwhere, the graveyard book and coraline, brings his biggest ever publishing year to a spectacular conclusion with this gloriously entertaining novel about time-travel, dinosaurs, milk and dads.

Revue de presse :

Gaiman knocks it out of the park again with this imaginative story. (School Library Journal)

This would also make a wonderful readaloud, but don’t be surprised if the kids insist that it be read in one sitting--and maybe with a side of cookies and milk. (Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books)

“[A] delightful tale.” (Wall Street Journal)

“If your kids still allow you to read aloud to them, this book is for you.” (Newsday)

“[A]n astounding tale...an absolute delight to read out loud....one part Douglas Adams, one part Doctor Who, and one part The Usual Suspects.” (boingboing.com)

“It’s hard not to love a novel that borrows equally from Calvin and Hobbes and The Usual Suspects. If you read only one book this year, a story with dancing dwarfs is always a wise choice.” (Kirkus Reviews)
