Fly Guy vs. The Fly Swatter follows in the long and buzzworthy Fly Guy series. While I am not really a fan of books that have insects and bugs as the main character I make an exception for Fly Guy. I admit that I was originally drawn to the series because of the very shiny covers (which can apparently be a great marketing technique). Fly Guy is a slightly unusual Easy Reader series since it is composed of all dialogue and no rhyming! So for parents who would rather die then read Fox in Socks one more time to your child, Fly Guy may be the perfect solution. To truly appreciate the art (and absurdity) of Fly Guy you must read book one Hi Fly Guy, which was a Theodor Suess Geisel Honor Book.
While Fly Guy does steal the show in every book, there is a second main character, his best friend Buzz. Buzz has a habit of accidentally bringing Fly Guy with him places. Today Fly Guy has been accidentally locked inside his backpack and ends up on an adventure to school and then a field trip. Buzz and Fly Guy were both excited about the field trip until they get to their destination: the Fantastic Flyswatter Factory!
Can the day possibly get any worse? Well, when the factory decides to demonstrate their flyswatter of the future, the Super Swatter 6000 Fly Guy knows that things are really bad. Can Fly Guy save the day or will the field trip and Buzz's best friend be ruined forever? You will have to read Fly Guy vs. The Fly Swatter to find out.
