If they created a coloring book, we’d own that too. This is my 9 year olds comfort read. He reads it 3 times a week minimum. The story is funny, wholesome, and great for all ages. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Hitchhiker's Guide for kids. *by E***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2024* That's the best way I can sum this up. Fortunately, The Milk is a funny, silly adventure that reminds me of nothing more than the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. The style of zany absurdist comedy combined with a romp through space and time is just too strong a resemblance to be a coincidence. Given that Neil Gaiman knew Douglas Adams in life, I would say it's likely an homage to his work.This was the latest pick for me and my son to read together and discuss. We are both Neil Gaiman fans and both enjoyed it thoroughly. A significant change of pace from his usual genre, but very well done. Mr. Gaiman is a master of his craft, and I can't wait until my son is old enough for me to introduce his other works. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic read-aloud for family story time *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2014* If you mention the name Neil Gaiman in certain nerdy circles, you are likely to get a lot of high pitched squealing and gushing about the amazement that is Gaiman. And a lot of girls like him, too.Wanting to raise my kids to be Proper Geeks, I thought it might be time to instill them with a love of Neil Gaiman now – you've gotta start them early, you know! And when I got my hands on a copy of Fortunately, The Milk by Neil Gaiman, I knew I’d found just the book to start them off with.If you or your kids like pirates, dinosaurs, aliens, ponies, vampires, cute quirky British families, traveling through time and space, breakfast cereal with milk, well illustrated and funny novels or even just one of those things – this one is a safe bet.I read this in one sitting and knew immediately that I wanted it to be our next Family Read-Aloud. My husband offered to read it last weekend to the kids, but warned them that we might not finish it in one sitting, because it’s 100 pages and they had school in the morning and – yeah, we finished it in one sitting.Partly because there really is no natural breaking point in the story and partly because it was just too funny to put down. My husband is a terrific story teller and he had fun voicing all the different characters and the kids adored the illustrations (though my ever observant hubby would point out that a few of the illustrations don’t quite match up accurately to the story).After we finished reading, I handed the book over to my seven year old so he could read it himself and properly pour over all the illustrations on his own time. There are a lot of illustrations to pore over with a lot of intricate details and as an added bonus, this book is a great vocabulary builder that will be a nice challenge for my advanced reader.It’s not very often that you find a book marketed for 8-12 year olds that the whole family will enjoy. Gaiman throws in a few ponies for the four year old girl set and lots of fun jokes for the parents to chuckle over and all the aliens, vampires, pirates and dinosaurs that a boy (or really any kid) could ask for. This is truly a book that has it all! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/9837620-fortunately-the-milk](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/9837620-fortunately-the-milk) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
