Editorial Reviews

K-Gr 2—On a boring day, Fly Guy and his boy, Buzz, amble down the sidewalk, play in the park, and cool off in the fountain. Buzz befriends Liz, who introduces her pink pet, Fly Girl, who wears a tiny bow on one antenna. The flies talk and talk "Wuzzle Wuzzle" as clever thought bubbles depict their conversation. They speak of walking through green goo together, kissing, getting married, and starting life together in an empty dog-food can, but decide to just remain friends once they imagine how much Buzz and Liz would miss them. Arnold's trademark cartoon illustrations and comical narrative will brighten any beginning reader's day, and while some boys may say this romance is totally gross, they will find plenty to laugh about in this funny addition to the series.—Laura Scott, Farmington Community Library, MI
