A Little Ferry Tale Only 9.99 With Purchase of Any Kids Book. I find that this is often the case with something that seems simple: whether it is writing or art, it takes skill and genuine talent to create that which seems basic but, after experiencing, leaves you with a profound feeling, like the (mostly chapter) books I have reviewed that fall under the category Short books - BIG IDEAS. Stuck is Oliver Jeffers most absurdly funny story since The Incredible Book-Eating Boy.
If you take a look at his paintings (for adults) you will see that his seemingly simple picture book illustrations arise from more complex artistic talents.
Before reading any of his books, I didn't think that the flat horizons and stick-legged characters Jeffers prefers could be as endearing as they are, but, there is something in the gestures, the colors and the occasional explosions of the exciting and unexpected, like the tree full of things in the illustrations below this one, that stick in your brain and make you think. But first, Stuck. As Jeffers says of Stuck, it is "a tale of trying to solve a problem by throwing things at it." As you might surmise from this description, Jeffers' stories are as as uncomplicated and elegant, just like his illustrations.
