“I’ll swap you them” I said. “What for?” asked Nathan. “I’ll swap you my dad.” “That’s not a fair swap” said Nathan. “I’ve got two goldfish and you’ve only got one dad.”
That’s the beginning of a tour of the world of commerce, as a father becomes a trading chip in a hilarious series of transactions that only kids can understand.
The story by Neil Gaiman is fabulous. And the illustrations by Dave McKean combine pen-and-ink, paint, collage and photographs in a way that demonstrates
his pure mastery of media and communication. See the other book by this author and illlustrator The
Wolves in the Walls.
The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish has been on the best-seller list of the New York Times as well as being a winner
of the New York Times Best Illustrated Books Award and many others.
This special limited edition includes an audio CD with the author narrating the story.
