A little fly buzzes happily along, making wavy zigzags through the air in this graphically appealing British picture-book, until a series of other creatures insist that she isn't flying correctly. Their advice on how to do the thing right - flying in a straight line, with a groups of one's friends, or in a sharp dive - only lead the little insect to disaster, until she finally decides to fly in a fly-ish way...

A very cute book about being yourself through the story of a fly. The fly is told by many different animals the "right" way to fly. I loved the high contrast illustrations. This would be a fun one-on-one story for kids to trace the flight paths with their fingers. It is a little on the longer side so it would be best as a lower elementary read aloud.
I really enjoyed it. Did make me laugh in one place. The words being intergraded into the pictures was a nice touch. Made the story more interactive.

Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss.
Fly receives lots of advice on how to fly but insists on flying her own way.
