"Heos has a knack for selecting and presenting the kind of factual information that is both fascinating and revolting (in other words, perfect for middle-graders)....Plecas' pictures...also keep the tone light while still being instructive." --The Bulletin, starred review
"A breezy bucketful of buggy braggadocio, with tasty nuggets of well-digested natural history stirred in." --Kirkus Reviews
"A whimsical approach to the life cycle of flies. Large, colorful illustrations immediately engage readers through dialogue bubbles and colorful cartoons . . . This book will be a lively read-aloud to introduce students to environmentalism or to generate conversation and new ideas." --School Library Journal
"Giggly, gross, and educational." --Booklist
"Heos cleverly skewers the classic elements of the typical animal book.... educators...will find this take on insects refreshing, amusing, and scientifically accurate." --The Horn Book
"This zippy introduction will inspire and satisfy curiosity." --The New York Times
"After reading this informational book, not only will young readers have new respect for poop and garbage-eating flies, they will know lots more about these less glamorous insects... even though this is a light and very, very funny book, it's chock full of information!" --BookPage
Fly is fed up with everyone studying butterflies. Flies are so much cooler! They flap their wings 200 times a second, compared to a butterfly's measly five to twelve times. Their babies—maggots—are much cuter than caterpillars (obviously). And when they eat solid food, they even throw up on it to turn it into a liquid. Who wouldn't want to study an insect like that?
In an unforgettably fun, fact-filled presentation, this lovable (and highly partisan) narrator promotes his species to a sometimes engrossed, sometimes grossed-out, class of kids.
