Why it's here

A silly, escalating story about a boy trying to get his kite out of a tree by throwing increasingly ridiculous things at it — the absurd repetition is exactly what makes kids laugh harder each time.

Skip it if

It's built on one repeating joke that escalates — skip if the child prefers a story with more traditional plot movement.
