Kites

Blown Away by Rob Biddulph

Posted by - No Comments

Blown AwayPenguin Blue has a brand new kite and he’s very excited about flying it for the first time. Unfortunately he picks a day which is a little bit too windy and a big gust carries him away. His friends grab his feet but the wind is too strong and soon they’re all flying over the ocean – 3 penguins, a seal and a bear!

Eventually they land on a tiny tropical island. They seem to be trapped and they’re not used to warm weather.

Will they be able to find a way home?

A lovely tale of friendship and ingenuity with really quirky little illustrations.

A Little Stuck By Oliver Jeffers

A Little StuckWe’ve developed a bit of a thing for Oliver Jeffers in recent weeks and Ivy particularly likes this one as it makes her giggle.

A little boy called Floyd gets his kite stuck up a tree so he throws his shoe up to knock it down. The shoe gets stuck so he throws up a cat. The cat gets stuck so he throws up a ladder. I think you get the idea!

Eventually the tree is full of random things including an orang-utan, a sink and the fire brigade. How will he get them all down?

Every time we read this Ivy runs around yelling ‘Stuck! Stuck! Stuck!’ and laughing to herself!
