Chris Riddell's amazing line illustrations are a perfect match for Gaiman's ever-so-slightly creepy stories. Coraline: You may have already seen the film, but this is about a little girl named Coraline, who finds a door in her house that leads to another world that is just like her own, only way more exciting. It's inhabited by copies of people who reside in Coraline's real world, and they are all created by her "Other Mother," who eventually tells Coraline that she wants her to stay with her forever. Choices, choices. What will Coraline decide to do, and what will be the consequences of those choices? And what has happened to her real parents? Fortunately, the Milk: While aimed at a very young audience, this is a very creative book that is rather entertaining. Imagine that you go out to the store to buy milk for your kids' breakfast cereal, only your journey is filled with unexpected adventures and unusual characters that pretty much do everything in their power to keep you from getting home. Does Dad ever make it home with the milk? The Graveyard Book: A young boy's family is murdered in their beds by a man in black, but somehow the little tyke makes it out of his house and toddles into the nearby graveyard, where he is adopted by the ghosts who live there. I loved this book. Every twist and turn in the story line was wholly unexpected and very unusual. Above all, it held my attention from start to finish. Review: Muy buen set para niños - Neil Gaiman es uno de nuestros escritores favoritos. Compré este set para mi hijo de 9 años y nos ha encantado, las ilustraciones son muy bonitas, la letra es de un tamaño adecuado para que la lean adultos y niños y la presentación de los libros en general es muy linda. Lo recomiendo mucho, también sería un muy buen regalo para niños entre los 6 y 11 años. Los libros están escritos en inglés.
