This is such a cute book to share with younger readers. The problem in the book is the little boy has a pet, but his pet wants a pet. They spend the whole book trying to find a pet for the fly.They can't find a pet for the fly, so the fly decides that the little boy can be his pet, and they can be each others pets. The illustrations are colorful and keeps your attention. It will have young readers imagining if pets really do want their own pet to play with. ( )

Summary:
A pet for fly guy is about a guy who gets a pet fly. One day when they are out, the fly decides that he wants a pet too. They go to the pet store but the fly doesn't like any of the pets there. He realizes he likes his owner to be his pet instead because that is the only thing that would be easy for him.
Personal reaction:
This story is good for children who always want a pet but don't realize how hard it is to find the perfect pet or how hard it is to take care of it. It is important for children to know about the responsibility that comes with having a pet.
Extension ideas:
One idea for an extension could be for the kids to name all the duties that come with having a pet.
Another is to have them draw their pet if they have one. If they do not have a pet, they can draw a pet that they would like to have.
