In this latest addition to the “Fly Guy” series, readers are introduced to several new characters, including a potential romantic partner to the tiny hero.  It is impressive how Tedd Arnold can tell a good story using such few words.  Much of the story is told through the colorful and expressive artwork.  Children will enjoy this charming addition to the series.
