K-Gr 2—Fly Guy's latest escapade finds him starring in a graphic-novel-style comic written by none other than his very own boy. As the pair settle into bed for the night, Buzz pulls out a book starring two "superherozzzz"—himself and Fly Guy. In Buzz's tale, he wakes to find himself shrunken down to Fly Guy's size, and Fly Guy can talk. The real action starts when he tells the boy that their house has been stolen by pirates and taken to a faraway dragon cave while they slept. Luckily, the pair find a way to befriend the dragon and all ends well. Arnold's trademark cartoon illustrations and easy-to-read text will surely be another hit with the Fly's fans.—Cathie Bashaw Morton, Millbrook Central School District, NY
Fans of Fly Guy hungering for another installment will be happy to get their hands on this one. Buzz writes a story in which he awakens to find himself the same size as Fly Guy--and kidnapped by pirates; good thing boy and pet have wings. Arnold's imitation of a child's writing and illustration style rings true.
