Bookroo's summary

Floyd's kite is stuck in a tree, and his attempts to free it spiral into chaos. Each item he throws, from shoes to an orangutan, only adds to the tangled mess. Can Floyd find a way to rescue his kite, or will everything remain hilariously stuck? Discover the absurdity and laughter in this vibrant tale of determination and unexpected consequences.

From the publisher

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.
