A family is out of milk. When the father sets out for the corner store to save breakfast, his return home will be delayed by time travel, pirates, a hot air balloon flying stegosaurus, vampires, and aliens who dream of redecorating the galaxy.

An absurdly hilarious tale that will have readers shaking their heads and laughing in turn. Brilliant illustrations match perfectly to the farcical plot creating an experience that will delight readers of all ages.
