📘 Stuck

by Oliver Jeffers

Floyds Drachen steckt in einer Baumkrone fest. Um ihn wieder runterzukriegen, wirft Floyd alles Mögliche und Unmögliche in Richtung Krone. Erst den einen Schuh, dann den andern. Und dann alles, was ihm in die Hände gerät. Sogar ein Orang-Utan und ein Wal landen im Grün der Baumkrone. Nichts hilft und auch die Feuerwehr kann nichts ausrichten. Sie steckt mit allen Feuerwehrmännern direkt in den Ästen fest. Erst als es keinen Platz mehr gibt im Baum, geschieht das Unerwartete: Langsam segelt der Drachen direkt vor Floyds Füsse.
