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.Author: Oliver JeffersPublisher: Philomel BooksPublished: 11/10/2011Pages: 32Binding Type: HardcoverWeight: 1.21lbsSize: 12.40h x 9.30w x 0.40dISBN: 9780399257377Audience: Ages 4-8Accelerated Reader:Reading Level: 3.4Point Value: 0.5Interest Level: Lower GradeQuiz #/Name: 150403 / StuckAward: Virginia Readers Choice Award - NomineeAward: Ladybug Picture Book Award - NomineeAward: Alabama Camellia Award - NomineeAward: Black-Eyed Susan Award - NomineeAward: Nevada Young Readers' Award - NomineeAward: Young Hoosier Book Award - NomineeReview Citation(s): Publishers Weekly 10/10/2011 pg. 54Kirkus Reviews 10/15/2011Kirkus Best Children's Books 11/15/2011 pg. 2118School Library Journal 12/01/2011 pg. 86New York Times Book Review 11/13/2011 pg. 34Booklist 12/01/2011 pg. 70People 12/19/2011 pg. 52Hornbook Guide to Children 01/01/2012 pg. 31 - Recommended, SatisfactoryAbout the Author Oliver Jeffers (www.oliverjeffersworld.com) makes art and tells stories.
