A Pet for Fly Guy

(3) K-3 In his first picture book outing, easy-reader star Fly Guy wants his own pet. He and (boy) Buzz are excited, then frustrated, then disappointed when each choice (dog, frog, worm) is unsuitable. The two realize that Fly Guy needs "a pet with a cool name." Buzz? "YEZZ! BUZZ!" Arnold's lively illustrations make the most of the characters' special friendship; the final page is especially satisfying.
