Award-winning author/illustrator Shinsuke Yoshitake’s Still Stuck is a fresh, laugh-out-loud funny picture book showing a young boy’s feelings of frustration—and his determination to do things himself.
Getting dressed and undressed can be difficult, especially for little ones. While getting ready for a bath one evening, a little boy gets stuck in his clothes. He panics and starts to fear what life would be like if he never got unstuck. How will he play outside? How will he stop the cat from tickling his tummy? It’s a good thing that Mom is around to help. But when it’s time to put on his pajamas, the boy finds himself with a whole new problem . . .
With this whimsical and highly original tale, young readers can imagine what life would be like if they got stuck in their clothes but still kept on going.
“With its poker-faced text and effortlessly executed visual jokes, it’s the essence of kid comedy—and almost certain to inspire some real-life disrobing shenanigans.” —Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
