The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish

The Neil Gaiman Audio Collection

De: Neil Gaiman

Narrado por: Neil Gaiman

One day Nathan comes over with two goldfish named Sawney and Beaney. "I'll swap you them," says the little boy of the house. "What for?" asks Nathan. As it turns out, Nathan doesn't want anything that the boy and his little sister suggest for trading...not an old spaceship or even Clownie the clown.

Finally, the boy has an idea, the kind of idea that changes the whole world: he decides to swap his dad. After all, the boy brags, his dad is as big as 100 goldfish and he swims better than a goldfish.

Neil Gaiman's at his best in this hip, hilarious story for all ages about the perils of bartering family members.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"[Gaiman is] more than up to the task of reading his work with great style....He performs as a consummate storyteller." ( Publishers Weekly)

Another fun story!!!

I am absolutely in love with Neil Gaiman's children's books now! Buying all of them!

I just <3 Neil Gaiman's stories!

Any additional comments?

Neil Gaiman is a master at his craft! I wish he read not only his own books but everything else, too.

Gaiman never fails to entertain.

A perfect kids’ story. Enough repetition to get the (reader) (listener) eager to get to the end, and at the same time delighted by all the swaps and looking forward to all of them.

absolute gem!

Any additional comments?

i am just crazy about it.

Great Gaiman short...

I think one would surely be hard pressed to find a cuter story about human trafficking.

What a whimsical story, table indeed.

Easy to listen to, understand, and follow. Wonderful short story containing great imagery. As always, Mr Gaiman brings imagination to the forefront. making silliness an "it could happen moment".

Cute story for kids ... and kids at heart

I never tire of listening to Neil Gaiman read his books. He had me giggling through this book - a short story with a bit of twisted humor.

Never again

I will never listen to it again. His words, his voice, I don't want them in my ears again.
