 A Review for a bedtime story November 5, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I liked the illustrative quality of this book, the story is simple , original, and with humour, my six year old daughter enjoys it, although it is very different from her world, in every way.
 I bought this book just beacause of its artworks/design March 15, 2007
and I mean it. They are awesome, and come together very nice in the whole.
But the most impressive is that they are so thoughtful, full of collages, hidden messages, paint textures that they tell the tale just like the text.

This is a wonderfully fun book about a boy who trades his dad for two goldfish. His mother tells him he has to get his dad back, so he goes on an adventure, walking from house to house, swapping items until he finally gets his dad back. His dad seems to have been oblivious to the whole thing, just reading his paper the whole time. A fun book with beautiful illustrations (typical Dave McKean drawings). My 6 year-old daughter loves it.
THE TITLE ALONE HOOKED ME ... BUT THE STORY REELED ME IN! December 24, 2005
One of the best children's books I've read in ages. Very clever, and the title is a blast!
Who wouldn't want to read a book that promises such a healthy dose of good-natured humor. A book that is obviously going to make them laugh ... either AT poor old Dad, or WITH poor old Dad. Ha-ha ...
I think this is an instant classic, and the illustrations are magnificent, perfectly in tune with the well-crafted plot.
AWESOME!
For All Ages December 14, 2006
This is a great little book that can be enjoyed by children of all ages, or children at heart. The story is basically about a boy that swaps his father for 2 goldfish. What he finds out is that the person he swapped with has swapped his father with someone else and this continues in a chain until he finally finds his father.
This is such a great book, right up to the caliber that would be expected of Mr. Gaiman. As usual, Dave McKean's illustrations are absolutely amazing. Even if you don't read the story, this book is great to have just as an art book. Enjoy it!
