"The Day I Swapped My Dad For Two Goldfish"

"The Day I Swapped My Dad For Two Goldfish" by Neil Gaiman (with pictures by Dave McKean) was chosen as one of Newsweek magazine's Best Children's Books of the Year.  I can understand why after reading it.  I loved the story myself and believe children will, too.  In fact, I liked it so well that I just ordered 2 paperback copies - one for my grandson's 8th birthday and one for my great-niece even though she's still a preschooler.  It may be a year or two before she's ready for it but in the meantime I hope her parents will enjoy it immensely.  pazt
