My son and I have read all of the Fly Guy books and this is the weakest of them all. As you could expect, this is the "Little Old Lay Who Swallowed A Fly" story with Fly Guy in the leading role. I thought the concept lacked imagination and is just a convenient excuse for getting another Fly Guy book on the shelves. My son complained the story "is too short" and ranked this story as his least favorite of the Fly Guy books. I agree. Tedd Arnold is phoning it in on this one, wait for it to arrive in your local library.

It's tough to find books at my son's reading level that excite him. The fly guy books always fit the bill. With silly boy humor and a well laid out text for early readers I recomend these books to all of his friend's parents.

My son is in love with this series of Tedd Arnold books. Fly Guy has been his favorite since he began reading. The illustrations are perfect. My son is 7 now and was hoping for more actual reading when we received There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed Fly Guy. He draws Fly Guy perfectly by memory! Hopefully the next in his series will have more to read.

My students love Fly Guy. My book arrived in perfect condition and has been loved by many students already.

What a fun way to spend time with a grandson! It's often difficult to pull this little guy away from his action figures, but this is the book to do it. It's fun, the pictures make us smile, and the story makes us laugh together.

I had the hardest time with my middle child and her learning and wanting to read. I stumbled upon the fly guy books and she absolutely loved the stinky fly stories. We have all of them now and she is one of the strongest readers in her class. She is reading above the books levels, but she still loves them so much. My youngest (age 5) daughter has started reading them too and loves them just as much!

Short book, great illustrations, kids love Fly Guy. Family classic that we will use with our children and then with their children etc etc. Great price for a hardcover!!

My daughter (age 7) is never "keen" to read books. When she told me she liked the "Fly Guy" books she read in class - I went and bought the series! There are 5 books, total. The stories are silly and have a fun "gross" factor that most kids would enjoy. The books have a few chapters, but they are easy readers and so it allows the kids to have a sense of accomplishment (having read a "Chapter" book), while not being too labor-intensive. I would definitely recommend them for kids that need to be "encouraged" to read.

my almost 3-year old daughter loves this book. Of course she can't read it herself, but she can't get enough of us reading it to her. Would recommend this book to anyone whose kid as an offbeat sense of humor.

My 7 year old son has four of these books. He really enjoys reading them again and again. Definitely worth the money!
