Quirky and fun.

September 10, 2007This was one of my all-time favorite children's books. I loved then (and still do) using the word in conversation. I just recently found a copy of the book (used, of course) and purcased it.
This story about a boy and his obstreperous kite is sure to please every child out there.

Amazing reprint of a book from 1969! This is a wonderful tale of perception and creativity; older readers will see a clear message about freedom here while young children will enjoy this story of a little boy who makes his own kite. If you are a fan of the work of Shel Silverstein then you will really enjoy this book!
