Atrapados is one of my favorite Oliver Jeffers' because of its humor and the ability to teach a ton of vocabulary words with the book.  The story surrounds a little boy who gets his kite caught in a tree.  In order to get the kite out he throws one of his shoes up in the tree to dislodge the kite.  Well, that doesn't work, and the craziness begins.  By the end, the tree looks like this:
