The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish / Neil Gaiman / 58 pages / May Challenge

Chosen as one of Newsweek Magazine's Best Children's Books of the Year, Today I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish is too funny.   It was the first book written by Mr. Gaiman for younger readers.  The cartoon balloons for dialogue, Dave McKean's spot on illustrations, and the actual voice of the author make this a good bet.  Love, love, love...the illustrations, the story premise, and the excellent character interactions.  This would be an excellent story starter or impetus for discussion of interpersonal relations.  (This one may be considered a picture book, but it is considerably longer than the standard 32-page format.)
