Review

In this first picture book spinoff of the popular Fly Guy series, Fly Guy and Buzz go on a picnic in the park where they watch other people playing with their pets. Fly Guy decides he needs a pet, too. After unsuccessfully trying out several different possibilities, they settle on a good solution for both of them. The colorful illustrations will give children lots to look at--and to giggle at. The themes of pets and friendship will resonate with children. This can be enjoyed as read aloud at story time, but is also approachable to young readers as a book they can read themselves. A nice story of friendship and fun.

Overall Book Score: good
