Stuck by Oliver Jeffers
author and illustrated by Oliver Jeffers
Copyright: 2011 Reading Level: PreK-3rd grade
Book Description: A book about a boy who gets his kite stuck in a tree. He continues to throw objects into the tree to retrieve the previous object thrown, because strangely enough, each and every object seems to get stuck in the tree. Surely there must be at least one object he can throw up in the tree to get the objects unstuck. Integrated Idea: Think about the different sizes of the items that Floyd throws in the tree. How long / tall / heavy is each one? How could you measure them? What units of measurement would we need to use? Could you make a list showing the measurements of each item and use these to make a graph?
