My son and I have read all of the Fly Guy books and this is the weakest of them all. As you could expect, this is the "Little Old Lay Who Swallowed A Fly" story with Fly Guy in the leading role. I thought the concept lacked imagination and is just a convenient excuse for getting another Fly Guy book on the shelves. My son complained the story "is too short" and ranked this story as his least favorite of the Fly Guy books. I agree. Tedd Arnold is phoning it in on this one, wait for it to arrive in your local library.
My son loves Fly Guy books. They are excellent for beginner readers and keep them entertained and engaged in reading. This is the only one he didn't own, so we purchased it and were not disappointed. He read it three times the day we got it in the mail. I highly recommend this book and the other Fly Guy books for beginner readers!
My son is in 1st grade and loves these books. He has struggled with wanting to read so finding these books was amazing. He reads them to his little sister or on his own or to me. The pictures are so bright and fun and the reading is fun too.
My 6 year old asked specifically for this book after he had seen it at the school library. He is having so much fun reading it! The words and text are easy enough for a beginning reader and the content is much more unique and fun than a lot of other typical beginner books.
Super Noah loves to read & Fly Guy is one of his absolute favorite characters.We discovered the Fly Guy series by Tedd Arnold while visiting our local library last year. Super Noah, who was just starting 1st grade, was able to read these books all on his own. Listening to him read, laughing hysterically, it was music to my ears.And now, a year later, we own every book in the series & Super Noah still loves Fly Guy.If you are not familiar with the Fly Guy series, it's a super sweet story about a boy named Buzz, Buzz is trying to find himself a new pet. Once Buzz & Fly Guy meet, so begins a beautiful relationship full of adventure & giggles.A fly as a pet you ask? Well, you will have to read the books to see where that leads (:Yes, I admit, Superdad & I find ourselves laughing along with Super Noah during reading time.We too love the Fly Guy series.The Fly Guy Series:Hi!

K picked this book up at this school library.This is a short and funny tale on the Lady who swallowed a fly. If you have read the original story then this is just another take on it. Only this time the lady swallows Fly Guy. Perfect read for those learning to read as the words are easy to see, the chapters are short, and there are no hard words. I thought maybe it could have been a bit more funnier, but K seemed to enjoy it. I am getting to enjoy Fly Guy and Buzz, waiting on K to bring more home.
My son is in love with this series of Tedd Arnold books. Fly Guy has been his favorite since he began reading. The illustrations are perfect. My son is 7 now and was hoping for more actual reading when we received There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed Fly Guy. He draws Fly Guy perfectly by memory! Hopefully the next in his series will have more to read.
It's tough to find books at my son's reading level that excite him. The fly guy books always fit the bill. With silly boy humor and a well laid out text for early readers I recomend these books to all of his friend's parents.
