Have I ever mentioned how much I adore my daughter, and how many hopes and dreams I have for her?

As a note - if you are familiar with Neil Gaiman's wok, this has none of the spooky. If you don't read his work, be aware: this is not wholly representative of most of his writing. His children's titles (that I've read) include The Day I Swapped My Dad For Two Goldfish, The Night The Wolves Came Out Of the Walls; and Coraline (which is a movie now & seriously, that book made me jump in a way that no other book ever has).
