Review The first in Ted Arnold's Fly Guy series is sure to delight young readers. The story is simple and easy to follow because of the words used, the images support the story and add elements of humor. The book is separated into short chapters chronicling the adventure of Buzz and Fly Guy from first meeting to entering a pet show. The book provides reluctant readers with a fun and entertaining text, without being overwhelming or wordy. Arnold does a wonderful job engaging readers with his fun characters and plot.
Application Hi! Fly Guy is a wonderful way to introduce children to chapter books they can read. School librarians can use these books with reluctant readers to interest them in books. This can be done through book talks. Talking about the book to children can encourage them to read. Librarians can also use the reproducible workshets available through Scholastics for teachers and parents. One of these is a page for children to create their own pet. (Scholastic, 2017b.)
