This is a book review Bryn and I wrote for the Guardian Family Reviews

‘It all began when Floyd got his kite stuck in a tree…’ and the story tells the funny, and at times surreal, steps Floyd takes to rescue that kite.

We giggled and laughed throughout reading this book especially at the moments where we were wrong footed. When Floyd gets a ladder to resolve the situation Bryn was expecting him to use it to catapult everything out of the tree, but no Floyd continues on his single-minded path to rescuing his kite.

I found the book a visual treat with surrealism and sophistication making it a quality picture book. The pictures of Floyd holding up ridiculously large things like ships, houses and whales remind me of conversations I’ve had with Bryn about whether he can put a house on his head.

An epic story packed with humour and ending with a reference to The Italian Job, this is a big hit in our household.
