After little Icarus and his dad make a bird-shaped kite, Dad warns
Icarus to hold on to the string and not let it fly too high. But Icarus
disobeys, and soon the kite gets caught in the trees! Dad helps him
repair the kite so they can play with it again, and Icarus learns the
importance of being careful. Joan Holub's carefully crafted text is
brought to life by Leslie Patricelli's famously humorous illustrations.
Includes a summary of the original Icarus myth.
