Book Descriptions
for Fly High, Fly Guy! by Tedd Arnold
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
When Buzz’s parents decide to take a road trip, Buzz wants to know if Fly Guy, his pet fly, can come along. “He’s too little and might get lost,” his parents advise, so Fly Guy stays home…only to fly out of the trunk at the first destination. No matter where they are—the beach, the amusement park, the museum—his parents are sure that Fly Guy will get lost. But with his superior homing skills (and hiding skills), Fly Guy is never far from Buzz. The tables are turned when Buzz’s parents get lost on the drive home and Fly Guy comes to the rescue. A succinct and smartly written beginning reader about a boy and his fly is pleasantly illustrated with cartoonish art. (Ages 4–7)
