What can one say about Fly Guy books. Flies are gross, nasty, disease carrying insects...yet you can't help but love Fly Guy. The illustrations are done in a unique style and the stories are funny. I love the way Tedd Arnold incorporates a flies 'language' into the story

This is a fun book about a pet fly named Fly Guy and his search for his favorite food. The reader keeps guessing at what his favorite food actually is until the very end, and it's not that gross afterall! I tagged this book for both preschool and elementary and also as both picture and chapter book. It can be read as a quick picture book for the preschooler who is not yet reading, and it can also be read by the elementary student as a short chapter book. I would recommend this book for a young student who is ready to start reading very easy chapter books. While Fly Guy is out trying to find his owner, Buzz, the reader gets to try and guess what kind of food Fly Guy has just found. Unfortunately, he keeps finding food that belongs to other people, hence the title. I recommend this book for all libraries with young children. (

Fly Guy returns home to discover that Buzz has gone on a picnic without him! Sad and hungry, Fly Guy takes off in search of his favorite food. He gets shooed away from a hamburger, a pizza, a dog's bones, and even roadkill--leaving readers to guess what Fly Guy's favorite oozy, lumpy, smelly, and brown food could possibly be! Why, it's shoo-fly pie, of course!

Using hyperbole, puns, slapstick, and silly drawings, bestselling author/illustrator Tedd Arnold creates an easy reader that is full of fun. With an eye-catching holographic foil cover, this is the third in a series of four books.
