Stuck product reviews

When I am asked to recommend a funny children's picture book, this is one of my go to books, it is one of those ones that I think, no matter how old I get, I'm always going to enjoy it just as much as I did the first time. The premise is nice and simple. Young Floyd is playing with his kite when it gets stuck up high in the branches of a tree, how is he going to get it back down? And thus the entertainment begins as young Floyd decides he needs to throw something up at the kite to dislodge it. Things get more and more absurd as the book continues, with Floyd throwing up a wide range of things, including a ladder and a firetruck...

The simplicity of the front cover always catches my eye and easily lets you know the base of what is going to happed without you needing to read the blurb on the back of the book. The illustrations throughout are fun and it gets more and more entertaining as the tree fills up, but it is still easy enough to see the previous items that Floyd threw up into the tree. This is a nice and simple book, not too hard to read but always lots of fun. I'm sure just as many adults have enjoyed this as have kids. If you're wanting to have a giggle with your young child then grab this book, I for one hope that Jeffers might one day bring out a Stuck part 2.
