Hi! Fly Guy




Category: Beginning Readers

Arnold, Tedd. Hi! Fly Guy. 30pp. Scholastic. 2005. ISBN 0-439-63903-4.

On the search for a pet to enter in the upcoming Amazing Pet Show, a boy sets out for a walk and runs into a fly that knows his name! The young boy, Buzz, immediately captures the smart fly and names him Fly Guy.  When his parents, and later the pet show judges, doubt the legitimacy of a pet fly, Buzz and Fly Guy prove them wrong. A budding and rather quirky relationship forms between the boy and his fly, and children will love following the adventures of these two friends.  Broken into three short chapters that provide natural stopping places for beginning readers, the book is filled with humorous text set in a large, fun font. Bright, lively illustrations capture the interest of primary students and complement the action packed story.
