I would also recommend this book to any child who is just starting to read.ġ. I Spy Fly Guy is short and the illustrations are bright and large enough that it could easily be read during a storytime for preschoolers. This book would appeal to both boys and girls, but boys may be more likely to identify with a little boy who keeps an insect as a pet. The text its very simple and there are no more than four lines per page. This age range seems to be a bit broad as this book is for children who are just beginning to read. The idea of a kid having a pet fly is comical (Buzz believes that Fly Guy is saying his name when he buzzes).Ī lists the intended age for this book as 4-8. Of course, in the end Fly Guy and Buzz reunite. When Fly Guy hides in a garbage can he is accidentally taken to the garbage dump, where Buzz must find him among thousands of other flies. In I Spy Fly Guy, Buzz and Fly Guy are playing a game of hide and seek. The Fly Guy books are stories about a boy named Buzz and his pet fly (named Fly Guy). I've loved Tedd Arnold's picture books (especially Parts and More Parts) with his simple, colorful drawings and bug eyed characters, so I was excited to read Fly Guy. I Spy Fly Guy is the most recent book in Tedd Arnold's Fly Guy early reader series.
