When Fly Guy helps boy Buzz with his homework, Fly Guy imagines himself as the insect hero of Buzz's original fairy tale. As Buzz thinks aloud ("Once upon a time, there was an ugly troll"), Fly Guy's verbal and nonverbal reactions help Buzz craft his story ("'No? What about a handsome prince?' 'YEZZ!'"). The humorous text and expressive illustrations support comprehension.
