It's been on the bedtime rotation for quite a while and I've purchased other Oliver Jeffers books that are equally as amusing.

Jeffers’ light-handed illustrations are hilariously droll. He flings up a bucket of paint, the milkman, real trucks, a full-size lighthouse and a curious whale, in the wrong place at the wrong time. 'My kids love this book! It's got great illustrations and they think all the items stuck in the tree are hilarious. Floyd has one approach, and one approach only, to kite recovery: Throw something up to knock the kite down. I have already bought several copies for friends' kids.' It is absurd in a way that kids (even tinies like my 2.5 year old) and adults alike find funny, with a particularly amusing (and plausible even in the circumstances!) ending. This, though, is his best, in my opinion. 'I like all of Jeffers' books: all lovely and whimsical.

So he throws up his other shoe and that got stuck, along with.a ladder, a pot of paint, the kitchen sink, an orang-utan and a whale, amongst other things! Will Floyd ever get his kite back? A hilarious book with a wonderful surprise ending. It is a story about a little boy who gets his kite stuck up the tree and while trying to retrieve it he throws all kinds of things up the tree trying to get his. He throws up his shoe to shift it, but that gets stuck too. It all began when Floyd got his kite stuck in a tree.The trouble really began when he threw a shoe up to knock the kite loose, and that got stuck too, followed by a ladder, a bucket, an orangutan, and a whale who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Chaos ensues when a young boy gets his kite stuck up a tree in this laugh-out-loud new picture book from award-winning, internationally best-selling author-illustrator Oliver Jeffers! Floyd gets his kite stuck up a tree.
