(3) K-3 Fly Guy series. With help from his pet, Fly Guy, Buzz makes a movie about a space-alien attack unleashed on the "Secret Hero Fort." In easy-to-read text, the silly movie-within-the-story meanders in an authentically childlike way, and Arnold's cartoony illustrations cleverly zoom in on the action and back out to show a smartphone filming homemade paper dolls and other toys on Buzz's desk. Lots of fun (or, as Fly Guy says, "FUNZZIE") for new readers.

(4) K-3 Fly Guy series. Buzz and his pet fly, Fly Guy, learn about bats on a trip to the zoo, and Buzz keeps track of information in his research notebook. Small photographs of bats are interspersed rather awkwardly with Arnold's signature cartoon-style illustrations. Still, the easy reader is decently informative and engaging, and fans of Buzz and Fly Guy will like learning along with their pals.

(4) K-3 Fly Guy series. In their latest outing, Buzz and his best friend, Fly Guy, play with monster puzzles and monster masks until Buzz goes to bed. But Fly Guy is up to something. That night Buzz wakes up to find Frankenfly loose in his bedroom! The ending is kind of sappy, but beginning readers will appreciate the silly sci-fi story and plentiful illustrations.
