Fly Guy surprises everyone and wins the Best Pet Contest. This simple read aloud is good for younger readers or anyone who has had 'unlikely' friends. Beginning readers can make their way through this picture book that also doubles as a beginning chapter book. The holographic cover is sure to attract even the most reluctant readers, not to mention the interesting story line about two unusual friends. This is a quick read but a good read. Genre: Fantasy Fiction Age App: 2 Summary: A boy named Buzz meets this particular fly. The fly says buzz which interests the boy, causing him to think that the fly is saying his name. Buzz and the fly become friends. They join a contest for best pet and win the smartest pet award. Media: Ink & Wash Review: This is a good example of a fantasy because the fly "talks", becomes a pet and is friends with a little boy. Obviously these things don't happen in real life which is why the author has to make these things believable since they are really made up. Setting: The setting is a backdrop because this could take place anywhere that there are flies. Media: Ink, Watercolors, and Colored Pencils This book is about a boy named Buzz catches a fly for a pet. He grows fond of the fly and names him Fly Guy. The book is a simple read for beginning readers. A short story about a friendship, and many more adventures to come.
Kindergarten-Grade 2–A boy goes out searching for a smart animal to take to The Amazing Pet Show and bumps into a fly that is intelligent enough to say the childs name, Buzz. Although his parents and the judges feel at first that a fly is only a pest, not a pet, the insect puts on a performance that astounds them all and wins an award. The cartoon illustrations showing characters with exaggerated wide eyes are delightful, but the text is somewhat weak and disjointed.–Anne Knickerbocker, formerly at Cedar Brook Elementary School, Houston, TX
