Fly Guy’s Amazing Tricks

Buzz has an unusual pet, a fly, whom he names “Fly Guy”.  Fly Guy is a very intelligent fly and he has learned several new tricks. Buzz decides to set up a circus act to entertain his friends and to show off Fly Guy’s talent. Fly Guy swims the backstroke in the bird bath, he flies in circles around the head of a one of the kids in the audience, and then he hangs from Buzz’s nose upside down.

At dinner that night Buzz tells his parents that Fly Guy has learned some new tricks, at which point Fly Guy does a repeat performance of the day’s show. Unfortunately, Fly Guy  makes a rather messy disaster of the dinner table. Buzz decides that Fly Guy should only perform his tricks when he hears the word “NOW.”   Fly Guy’s performing on command helps Buzz get rid of a potential bully that very night.

In this amusing beginner reader, Buzz and Fly Guy once again prove that together they can overcome all kinds of obstacles. The story is divided into short chapters and it is illustrated with full color drawings.

There’s A Fly Guy In My Soup

A boy had a pet fly.
Right from the very first sentence we know that Arnold will take us on a whimsical adventure.  After all, how many people relish the idea of a pet fly?

The boy’s name is buzz, which is very convenient for Fly Guy as he can easily pronounce his best buddy’s name!

This is book #12 in the series.  We find Buzz and his family are on vacation.  As the family goes to lunch at the hotel restaurant, Fly Guy  goes to lunch in the hotel trash.  Gross humor ensues (he is a fly of course) that most kids will find very funny.  After he gets all yucky and covered with garbage, he decides he needs a bath.  The unfortunate use of a diner’s soup as his bath cause a lot of commotion and mess.
