Product Description

 
This uproariously funny picture book by Neil Gaiman, the creator of the popular SANDMAN comic book series and author of the novels NEVERWHERE and AMERICAN GODS, draws its audience from his immense adult fan base as well as from children new to his work. The nameless narrator covets his friend Nathan's goldfish, and offers to trade his dad for them. Once his mother discovers the exchange, however, she orders her son and his younger sister to reverse the transaction. Unfortunately, Nathan has already traded the boy's dad for an electric guitar, and the guitar's previous owner has traded him for a gorilla mask, and....The scratchy, collage-like illustrations are by Dave McKean, a frequent collaborator with Gaiman on comic books and graphic novels.

Fish for father a short-lived good deal

Date of Review:  Jan 25, 2008
The Bottom Line: The book is a delight. Posting on Epinions is a challenge. As explained below, this is a deliberate and defiant duplicate post. Please rate accordingly.
Review: This fun story about what can go wrong with a seemingly terrific bargain starts with a boy who wants a pair of goldfish that belong to his friend. The boy thinks highly of himself.

"Some people have great ideas maybe once or twice in their...

The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish, by Neil Gaiman

Date of Review:  Oct 8, 2006
The Bottom Line: I know, I know, it's written for children, quit your complaining. Still. I just found it to be a little TOO simple.
Review: I think I m just not meant to read Neil Gaiman s children s books. I mean, they re okay, they re interesting, he s still got some great ideas. It s just the writing. It s so simple, and there s almost no plot to them. That was my problem with THE...

Two Goldfish plus one father equals great fun!!!

Date of Review:  Apr 1, 2008
The Bottom Line: This book is absolutely fantastic-if the younger children can handle the ending.
Review: I have read many books by Neil Gaiman and my favorite ones were Coraline, a tale of a girl trying to find her real parents in a parallel world and The Wolves in the Walls, a tale about a girl and her family trying to get their house back after...
