Buzz Boy and Fly Guy



Buzz Boy and Fly Guy by Tedd Arnold is about a little boy who has a fly as his friend. The little boy creates a comic book about the two of them saving their house and they fly declares them "Herozzz!"
    I think this would be a great book for a boy or girl who wants to create a comic. The example in the book is a great one for children to look at and create their own. I think that way this story is written is a great way to capture children's attention. This book is very unique because it starts off as every other book does but then it tells the story from the point of view of the comic. I think it is a great way to intrigue readers. I love how the author told the story from the imagination of the young boy in the story. The pictures in this book are a bit more advanced than you would see from a child's drawing but each picture brings the book to life.
    I think young children will enjoy reading this book, especially boys because the main character is a boy. The way the book is written is very interesting and I think young children will find it exciting. This book may also prompt children to start writing their own books/comics. The story line is totally one that children can relate to and have probably thought about before. This book will really get children's imaginations running wild. If you are wanting children to create their own book I think this would be a great way to show children different ways of doing so. Reading this book to children will get them excited about creating their own book and using their imaginations to do so. Children in first grade and up will be able to read this story on their own and understand the content. Younger children may need help reading this story but they too will also understand the content without any extra assistance.

  1. I've seen this book in my placement classroom, and I've wondered what it was about. I've seen boys fight over the copies in the library, they love this book!

  2. There are a lot of these books in the series. It seems like a popular series with the boys. I think they are really fun.
