The Fly

32 pp. | Candlewick | May, 2015 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-7480-9 $14.99
(4) K-3 A fly describes its daily life and its mystification that it's not more popular with the farm animals and the (flyswatter-wielding) boy in whose house it lives. Substance-wise, there's not much to the text, which swirls to reflect the fly's path. But the tedious insect's all-innocence "Who, me?" persona is amusing, and the art, which features flyswatter-shaped flaps, is innovative.
