"Stuck" by Oliver Jeffers

Juvenile picture book. It all began when Floyd's kite became stuck in a tree. He threw his favorite shoe to knock the kite loose and that got stuck, too! The sting of things being thrown into the tree to knock other things out include: a cat, a ladder, a door, a milk man, an orangutan and a curious whale in the wrong place at the wrong time. Jeffer's illustrations are fun and child-like, and the story will appeal to young children's sense of the absurd.
