My children and I all love `Fly Guy'. [They are boy and girl: 4 and 6 years-old). They love the wacky drawings and the endearing plot, and I love that this is going to be a great reader for both of them in the near future."Hi! Fly Guy" begins with a boy's search for the ultimate pet to take with him to 'The Amazing Pet Show'. Against all odds he decides on a fly. Why? Because his name is Buzz and when the fly "stomped his foot and said - BUZZ!"... well you can see where this is going.In any case, some great silliness ensues and Buzz manages to convince not only his parents but the judges at the pet contest that they ought to at least consider the notion that a fly can be a pet.Five Stars. Great story that doesn't talk down to children. Good Read-aloud. This book can be a great early reader. The vocabulary is fairly simple, and the number of words per page is not high (ranging from 2 to about 20 words per page). In addition, the concept of chapters is introduced, although the whole book is small. An example of text from the first 5 pages of the book follows so you can judge for yourself.A fly went flying.He was lookingfor something to eat -something tasty,something slimy.A boy went walking.He was looking forsomething to catch -something smart,something forThe Amazing Pet Show.
My son is just getting the hang of reading. We have read many of the Hillert and Capuccilli books with great enjoyment. As I was walking through the book store I saw this book. We have enjoyed many of Tedd Arnold's books together through the years. I was thrilled when I opened this one up and saw that it would be perfect and fun practice reading for my son. At first he was skeptical that he would be able to read it alone but after the first couple pages he was reading and giggling along.Since his first reading he has wanted to share this book with others. I would highly reccommend this as a fun book to make reading enjoyable for those who are just getting into the swing of it.
A lot of the reviews mention little boys and how much they love this book but I wanted parents to know some little girls would love it too. My daughter loves fun stories and she doesn't think everything has to be pink or princesses. If that sounds like your little girl then don't hesitate to give on the Fly Guy books a try. We have read several of them and enjoyed them all. The art is very unique and fun looking and the stories are very engaging.
Hi my name is Wyatt I am 8 you shod by hi fly guy. because it is grate book because a boy catches him then he got first place ay the pet show and you shod read it is grate .
Books for beginning readers often lack a compelling narrative thread or lively characterization as a result of their limited length and vocabulary. HI, FLY GUY! is the exception to the rule. With 4 or few lines per page, this 4-"chapter" book introduces a conflict (Will Buzz be able to enter his new pet in a local contest?) which is resolved by the end of the book. Characters, including the pet fly, develop over the course of the story. And the inclusion of gross elements (i.e., flies like rotten, smelly stuff) and the male protagonist make this is great "boy" book. 2006 Geisel Award Winner.
My 6 year old son has been struggling to read and I have been looking everywhere for a series of books that will make him want to read. He loves these Fly Guy stories and he laughs every time he reads them. This is the first in the series and I gave it to him for Christmas. It is really nice to see him find a book that he actually likes to read. He can read the whole story without troubles, he had to ask what a few words were the first time through but now reads it to himself.These are really short chapter books and are best for kids that either have short attention spans (like mine) or like to feel an immediate sense of accomplishment. The chapters each have about 15-25 words and there are 3-5 chapters in each story. This means that he can read a whole book in 10 -15 minutes and then move on to something else.I am really hoping that these will be the gateway books to a love of reading for my son and so far they seem to be working as intended.
My first grader had had this 2 days and he has read it out loud to us and his friend half a dozen times. It has given him a big confidence boost in his reading ability. He even wants to take the book into class so HE can read out loud to them, amazing. It is a funny cute story with adorable illustrations, we want more Fly Guy and Buzz stuff!! Best spent $5.99 this week.
I volunteer at our local school reading one on one with children. The Fly Guy series have been a huge success and the kids love reading them on my Kindle. They are entertaining and colorfully illustrated. There's nothing like a struggling 5th grader asking you, "do you have any more of those FLY GUY books?"
