Hi! Fly Guy is formatted with pictures and very little words. Its a good transition for students moving into chapter books. I would have this in a 2nd grade and up classroom to build skills of reading chapter books. I think this book can be a good partner read. This book shows the humorous relationship between a boy and a fly with little words and illustrations. ( )

1. I would recommend this book to 1st or 2nd graders. Or students whoa re just beginning to read chapter books.
2.In this book a boy bumps into a fly and the boy is amazed because the fly can say his name "Buzz" they become quite good friends. He needed a pet for a pet show kind of thing for class so he used the fly as his pet. The students make fun of him originally then he ends up showing him cool flying tricks and he ends up winning the smartest pet award.
3. I would recommend this book to younger students. It has an easier to follow plot as well as a silly and engaging book.

This is a short chapter book about a kid named Buzz looking for a pet. He catches a fly and names him fly guy, to enter the pet show. He is told flies can't be pets and gets sad, but fly guy impresses the judges and wins an award. I think that this would be a good book for primary school kids, to learn how to read chapter books. It also tells the message to not give up.

This cute book is about a guy names Buzz and his new pet fly. Buzz was looking for a new pet and caught fly, although fly was not happy, until Buzz fed him food. They qualified for the pet show after fly did some awesome tricks! This made everyone very happy.

I think this book would be very helpful for a primary age to help with developing readers 2. This is a fun and easy read for students to read easy words, but also to look at picture to help them see more meaning to the text.

Kindergarten-Grade 2–A boy goes out searching for a smart animal to take to The Amazing Pet Show and bumps into a fly that is intelligent enough to say the childs name, Buzz. Although his parents and the judges feel at first that a fly is only a pest, not a pet, the insect puts on a performance that astounds them all and wins an award. The cartoon illustrations showing characters with exaggerated wide eyes are delightful, but the text is somewhat weak and disjointed.–Anne Knickerbocker, formerly at Cedar Brook Elementary School, Houston, TX
