Fly Guy Reviews

This is a very funny story about Buzz and his pet fly, Fly Guy. They play hide and seek and Fly Guy gets lost in the rubbish dump.
It is a great story for 5, 6 and 7 who are starting to read chapter books. I want to read all the Fly Guy stories.
By Jazmin R14

A family is going on a picnic, and Fly Guy, their pet, goes along too. Just as well because he finds the way back home when they get lost.
Boys and girls (5, 6 and 7 years old) who are beginning to read chapter books would like this, especially if they like comic books. By Casey R14

Herbert read Keeker and the Springtime Sunshine. Keeker is 8 years old who loves her horse, Plum.
