Stuck
by Oliver Jeffers
Ages 3-8 years
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, too! A hilariously absurd story about problem-solving gone wonderfully wrong.
