A hilarious book with a wonderful surprise ending.

  • What a funny book! I love it! Most kids have gotten something stuck up in a tree, or on a roof, and can easily relate to this book. I can imagine young readers trying to wrap their minds around such ridiculous things stuck up in a tree. Great read-aloud! Also, issues of problem solving can be discussed with this book.Ages: 3-7 (B&N)

  • It all started when Floyd’s kite gets stuck in a tree. Everything he threw at the kite also got stuck in the tree. The illustration in this book is really fun and different.

  • This is such a fun and playful book full of imagination! It is about a little boy who's kite gets stuck up in a tree and he uses everything he can think of to try and get it down. He throws a cat, a ladder, even a whale, but everything just gets stuck in that tree! In the end he gives up and goes to bed, with all those things, animals, and people still stuck. The childlike illustrations and typography add the the childlike feel and sense of suspended reality. I think adults and children alike will love this book and be captured by it's playful humor.
