"Neil Gaiman and cartoonist Skottie Young will collaborate on a children&amp;#039;s novel. The pairing will be part of the Coraline writer&amp;#039;s new five-book deal with HarperCollins, according to Publishers Weekly. Young will illustrate Fortunately, the Milk, which Gaiman described as &amp;quot;an ode to the pleasure and wonders of storytelling itself&amp;quot;. Gaiman&amp;#039;s first book will be the Adam Rex-illustrated Chu&amp;#039;s Day, which will debut in January. The later releases will include a sequel to 2008&amp;#039;s Odd and the Frost Giants. Gaiman&amp;#039;s long-time collaborator Dave McKean was previously in line to provide artwork for Fortunately, the Milk. Young&amp;#039;s Avengers Babies vs X-Men Babies one-shot was announced at San Diego Comic-Con International over the weekend. It was also revealed that Gaiman would be returning to his legendary Sandman property for a JH Williams III-drawn six-issue Vertigo series. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
