All the Fly Guy books are funny, sweet, colorful, and deliver a nice message. They are everything books for kids should be.In this book Buzz dreams that his pet Fly Guy creates a Frankenfly monster in a frightening laboratory. The monster fly is delightfully drawn. All ends well of course. And Buzz is left with a charming sentiment about friendship.I always love the way the author translates plain English words into buzzy fly-words. Kids love to read these funny words and put great expression into them.The boys in our family (ages five and eight) are always delighted when I buy a new Fly Guy book. This is a good one.
As pretty much always, Fly Guy doesn't disappoint here. Arnold's pictures are witty, bold and reward looking closely; the text is pretty much perfect for the very early reader; the plot and resolution are sweet and funny and representative of the enduring bond between a boy and his pet fly. I'll kind of miss these when my youngest gets too old for them.
My 2 daughters are in love with this book. I read it to my nephews and they also keep asking me to re-read it. Both my 4 & 5 year olds can read it to me now. They heard it a few times and were able to make great guesses from the pictures and the humor in the book. This book is funny. The vocabulary is just right for kids capable of mastering a few sight words and sounding out the others. Most of the words flow so kids can guess huge words too. I was AMAZED at what my kids were reading in this book, because it is so engaging they make the guesses instead of reading like a robot.
My son absolutely loves this series. Very happy I stumbled upon it. The stories are short and the wording is large. Keeps his attention. Perfect for my 5 year old. I will be purchasing more of this series as a Christmas present.
My daughter loves the Fly Guy series and she had not seen this book. She is 6 years old and loves to practice reading the Fly Guy series, so for Halloween, we surprised her with the book. She reads it all the time. The only problem was that after the first time, she was a little frightened by the drawings (she is also at that age where monsters seem more real) until we let her read to us and then laughed about how funny the Frankenfly looked and we talked about what looked funny or weird (That's a hint on how to handle the situation if your child seems a little frightened by "FrankenFly").
My readers are two 2-1/2-yer-old girls. They like! And so does mom.I never thought I'd think a picture book about a fly would be cute, but this fly IS cute! Big eyes and adorable expressions. I like reading a book about bugs that doesn't depict them as icky.And I never thought a picture book about a fly and Frankenstein situation would be sweet...but it IS! All of the books in this series have a wonderful undercurrent of friendship. The boy and his fly are total buds. A nice departure from the usual friendship between a boy and his dog.We have two in the series, and I think we will get Fly Guy #8: Fly Guy Meets Fly Girl! next.
For children this is a good read. I read it as do the epal reading program with children and then gave the book to my grand niece who loved it. What can I say? As an adult it seemed lame but children love the book.
My 5 year old enjoys this series immensely (as well as other Tedd Arnold books) and was excited by the cover imagery of Frankenfly. However the story in this edition is lacking and there's little humor or sillyness to make up for it. He hasn't requested it again since we first read it a week ago. If you're new to this series, I'd recommend #1, #2, #6, and #7 as much better starting points.
