Product Description
Boy and fly meet and so begins a beautiful friendship. Er, and so begins a very funny friendship. Using hyperbole, puns, slapstick, and silly drawings, bestselling author/illustrator Tedd Arnold creates an easy reader that is full of fun. "A pop-eyed, self-confident mite in Arnold's droll cartoon illustrations, Fly Guy's up to any challenge, whether it be eating a hot dog (well, most of it, anyway), or performing amazing aerial acrobatics; readers drawn by the flashy foil cover will stick around to applaud this unusually capable critter." --Kirkus Reviews

 Fun book series July 1, 2008
My daughter (age 7) is never "keen" to read books. When she told me she liked the "Fly Guy" books she read in class - I went and bought the series! There are 5 books, total. The stories are silly and have a fun "gross" factor that most kids would enjoy. The books have a few chapters, but they are easy readers and so it allows the kids to have a sense of accomplishment (having read a "Chapter" book), while not being too labor-intensive. I would definitely recommend them for kids that need to be "encouraged" to read.
A great beginning reader book! April 18, 2008
My little girl was introduced to fly guy in Super Fly Guy! She just loved the story! Of course we had to pick up the first story!
Buzz is looking for something to catch for the Amazing Pet Show. He meets fly guy as the bump into each other. Well fly guy boinks his noise. He catches him and takes him home but nobody believes a fly can be a pet! Dad tries to get him with a flyswatter! My girl told him NO! Even at the show, the judges keep telling him a fly is not a pet! But flyguy wins them over in the end!
This book deservedly won the Theodor Geisel award as it's really easy to read and it's interesting enough to keep children interested.
Artwork is great as my girl did not get tired of the pictures!
Great book for early readers and others as well May 18, 2007

Used this book with groups of struggling readers. It was motivating and they wanted to read the sequels. They are very fond of Fly Guy now, and they are very excited about the next book. They want to write a letter to Tedd Arnold and ask him to write more Fly Guy books.
Too much fun! March 13, 2007

My three year old daughter has an odd bug phobia and this book is the best! The graphics and story are so funny that I actually don't mind reading it over and over. I get as much of a kick out of it as she does. Of the 100+ books we have for our kids this is my reigning favorite!
Carefully written to be easy for early readers November 22, 2006

This is officialy my six year old daughter's breakthrough book - the first book she picked up on her own and read by herself. The fun story and pictures pulled her in, the carefully crafted text kept her from getting stuck and giving up.
We've since ordered every Ted Arnold book we can get our hands on and she has built up enough confidence now that she can get though harder books.
Highly recommended!
