T
his is the exciting tale of the life of a housefly. The pesky little fellow in this picture book is a friendly soul but people just keep trying to swat him because he is always looking for a tasty morsel to sample.
E
ven when he ventures outdoors, the birds, cows and frogs he encounters aren't very friendly. In fact, some of the critters even try to eat him. Well, that's certainly not good!
S
o back into the house he goes where there are treats to be had if the fly can just avoid the occasional swat. Perhaps if he didn't buzz so much people wouldn't find him so irritating.
T
his nicely illustrated story will draw children in like honey attracts flies. So be careful when you read this book because you don't want to squash this special little fly as you turn the pages!
