A Little Stuck

Oliver Jeffers, known for his unique illustrations and witty storytelling, presents a delightfully silly picture book about a boy named Floyd whose kite gets stuck in a tree. What begins with a simple shoe toss quickly spirals into an increasingly absurd attempt to dislodge the kite, involving everything from a ladder to an orangutan and even a whale. This book is a masterclass in comedic escalation, perfect for sparking giggles and conversations about problem-solving (or lack thereof). It's ideal for children aged 4-8, offering both a fantastic read-aloud experience and an engaging story for early independent readers.

From the illustrator of the #1 smash The Day the Crayons Quit comes another bestseller--a giggle-inducing tale of everything tossed, thrown, and hurled in order to free a kite! When Floyd's kite gets stuck in a tree, he's determined to get it out. But how? Well, by knocking it down with his shoe, of course. But strangely enough, it too gets stuck. And the only logical course of action . . . is to throw his other shoe. Only now it's stuck! Surely there must be something he can use to get his kite unstuck. An orangutan? A boat? His front door? Yes, yes, and yes. And that's only the beginning. Stuck is Oliver Jeffers' most absurdly funny story since The Incredible Book-Eating Boy. Childlike in concept and vibrantly illustrated as only Oliver Jeffers could, here is a picture book worth rescuing from any tree.
