Customer Reviews

Great Book!

During the first read, you and the listener(s) are not really sure what is up. However, at the end of the book you find out what has been going on and then it's fun to go back and read it again! Very cute! It's like having the light bulb go on and that's always fun to see with children.

Great Action Pictures

This book has great realistic artwork. You can feel the action in the pictures of the dog sweeping "muddy pants and crusty socks" into the laundry basket. The pictures have so much detail, I think I child could almost draw a perfect anatomy of a fly.

Who Would've Imagined!

This is a really cute story. Who would've imagined that one little, trespassing fly could make a child's life so much easier? The author of the book, I suppose. This story has a clever plot with a gradually anticipated ending--perfect for young children.
