I Spy Fly Guy is the most recent book in Tedd Arnold's Fly Guy early reader series. 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. The Fly Guy books are stories about a boy named Buzz and his pet fly (named Fly Guy). In I Spy Fly Guy, Buzz and Fly Guy are playing a game of hide and seek. When Fly Guy hides in a garbage can he is accidentally taken to the garbage dump, where Buz...more
Another felicitous addition to the easy to read Fly Guy series by award-winning, Tedd Arnold. Fly Guy and Buzz are playing I Spy, when Fly Guy is inadvertently carried off to the garbage dump. Buzz hies after the truck to find him but is flummoxed by the thousands of flies, all seemingly able to call Buzz's name. Buzz figures out a way to separate F.G. from the masses and it all ends well. An ALA notable book and Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor Book.
Buzz and Fly Guy decide to play hide and seek. It is Fly Guy's turn to hide and he chooses his favorite place, a trash can. While hiding and Buzz counting the trash man comes and takes the trash along with Fly Guy. A worried Buzz gets his dad to follow the trash truck to the dump. Now he must find Fly Guy within a sea of flies.
The book was very cute and a fun read.

This was a fun little story about Fly Guy and his human, Buzz. I was really surprised that my 4-year-old could read most of this book without help. It had a lot of small, repetitive words and phrases. For example, "Fly Guy hid in the garbage can. He always hid in the garbage can." A few pages later it said, "Fly Guy hid in the garbage can again. Just then, the garbageman came."
Fun book for several level of beginning readers. Would make a good read aloud for showing how the illustration adds to the story when the text does not give all the information. Seem to almost posses the qualities of a graphic novel in that respect at times. Fun book for discussion on may points. These books are favorites at our school.
I like the introduction to the book to show you the characters and how they get along. I liked the repetition again and the play on the "I Spy" game. Also a story that kids can relate to in losing their pet or stuffed animal or friend.
While playing hide-and-seek with Buzz, Fly Guy is taken away by the garbage man. Looking all over the dump all the "dump" flies answer to "buzz" until finally Fly Guy shows himsilf hanging upside down from Buzz's cap.
It is a real challenge to find your pet fly when you are surrounded by gazillions of flies. But, of course, Buzz takes the challenge and somehow succeeds. Phew!

Once again, my sons enjoyed reading/listening to this book in the series. I thought the twist ending was clever, and just right for the audience.
This is my favorite of the Fly Guy books. Great series for new readers and introducing chapter books to younger children.

My kids all love listening to fly guy books. Not sure what the draw is, at least they are quick and easy to read.
Kieran read this by himself! Abut a boy and his pet fly... I guess "anything can fly" in the world of picture books!
Buzz plays hide and seek with Fly Guy until the garbage man hauls him off to the dump. Is Fly Guy gone for good?
I loved reading this book with my son. Great introduction to chapter books for early readers.
Ethan picked this out himself from the library at school. It was pretty cute. :)
This book will is very entertaining for early readers, but not very educational.
Typical Fly Guy book, cheesy, funny, a bit of predictable suspense.

My son and I enjoyed reading this book about Buzz & Fly Guy
Love when a kid book can have humor that is adult funny..
Super Cute! My kids at school loved it!
it was funny.
Super cute book for younger kids.
Filled with fun illustrations and sight-words this book would appeal to a young reader who is beginning to read on his/her own. Added confidence-booster: chapters
A fun story about a boy and his pet fly. Follow the two as they play hide-and-seek...but what happens when the fly's hiding place gets taken to the garbage dump?

This is a 2010 Theodor Seuss Geisel Award honor book for easy reader. The very simple text and appealing artwork make the whole "Fly Guy" series fun reads. Just the idea of a fly for a pet is unusual and interesting. Recommended!
If you can't have any other type of pet, I suppose a fly will do. Entertaining and clever. Great pictures! This is the Where's Waldo of the insect world.

Love fly guy and all his adventures with buzz. This book is a good transitional chapter book for those that are low level readers.

There, Tedd's first art lessons in an abandoned dentist's office over the Happy Hour pool hall eventually led to a fine arts degree from the University of Florida.
