The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish
The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish | Neil Gaiman
7 posts | 22 read | 4 to read
"I'll swap you my dad," I said. "Oh-oh," said my little sister. What if you wanted your best friend's two goldfish so much that you'd swap anything for them, even your father? What if your mother came home and found out what you'd done? The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish is a hilarious adventure and was the first book for younger readers from the acclaimed author and illustrator of the New York Times best-sellers The Wolves in the Walls and Coraline. Chosen as one of Newsweek magazine's Best Children's Books of the Year, The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish is beloved by readers of all ages. This new edition features brand-new jacket art and an afterword by the author on the origins of this unique and wonderfully funny story.

Marvelous. Somehow both cheeky/absurd and adorable. I LOVE Dave McKean's art style - not quite like anything else I've ever seen in picture books. The story is surprisingly light in tone for a Neil Gaiman book.

Here I will note 365 books (or as many as I will have before I get tired) that have shaped my taste in literature. No explanations, no reviews. Just the cover of the book.
I do not challenge anyone. You are all welcome to take part.

Pretty funny and lots to see in the artwork. My daughter said, “I‘d never do that.” 😹 I wonder what she‘ll say at 16????

You guys... I went to the Swappers Meet (Minnesota's biggest and best flea market- as voted by the public, not just me 😀) and my book lady wasn't there!!!!😢😢😢 I'm so sad because she usually has best sellers from the past 3 years for less than a dollar each!! So not only did I get up early, but I braved the heat and crowds for nothing but a basil plant😞 oh well. (Ignore the overly dramatic picture lol)

LiterRohde Basil‘s good. Right? 😜 6y

#favouriteNeilGaiman book for #photoadaynov16
I love Neverwhere, Stardust, and Good Omens, but I figured I would see plenty of posts for those so here you are! Darkly funny picture book, including cute rabbits.

RealLifeReading I love his picture books! Especially 8y
LauraBrook For some reason, I thought this was the cover for a Counting Crows album. 🙃 8y
