Obviously, as picture books to read aloud they can be used with children of all ages. The text is more challenging than that of the Elephant & Piggie series. As reading books, I would peg them as being best for children between six and eight years of age – but this will obviously depend on their reading ability. They are structured as very basic chapter books with 32 pages in each book. I can’t say exactly why this bug-eyed fly and his boy, Buzz, appeal to children, but they do! Great for early or reluctant readers, the books include large, readable type, simple text and funny-to-kids, highly engaging story lines. Today there are more than 20 books in the series, including six non-fiction books. Th first in the series, Hi! Fly Guy, was published in 2005 and was awarded the ALA Theodor Seuss Geisel Award shortly thereafter. But all it took was one book and she was hooked! When Immy first brought home one of Tedd Arnold’s Fly Guy books from the school library, I honestly failed to see the appeal.
