Product Description
This is the diary...of a fly. A fly who, when she's not landing on your head or swimming in your soup, is trying to escape her 327 brothers and sisters who are driving her crazy!
Even though she's little -- just like her best friends Worm and Spider -- Fly wants to be a superhero. And why not? She walks on walls, sees in all directions at once, and can already fly!
Doreen Cronin and Harry Bliss, the team behind the New York Times bestsellers Diary of a Worm and Diary of a Spider, reach hilarious heights with their story of a little fly who's not afraid to dream big. Really big.

Grade 3 Teacher,
This review is from: Diary Of A Fly (Hardcover)
I bought this book to complete the set of the three Diaries of Worm, Spider and Fly, and it is my favourite of the three. My grade three class loved it and laughed out loud at the comical illustrations and especially at the problems encountered by fly's babysitter when faced with 327 energetic young flies to keep in line. I use these books by Doreen Cronin for Science as they are filled with interesting facts as well as endearing humour. My students have been writing their own "Diaries" complete with illustrations and hand-drawn and coloured "photographs" on the end papers. The wonderful illustrations by Harry Bliss are so detailed and comical, and they really appeal to children in a big way. It has given us a very rich literature-based science unit and has completely engaged the children. Diary Of A Worm Diary Of A Spider

Another winner!,
By Biblioholic Beth - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Diary Of A Fly (Hardcover)
My 6-year-old son has the first two books in this "series" ("Diary of a Worm" and "Diary of a Spider") and they have been among his favorites for quite a while. We can now add this to the list - it's not *quite* as fun as the others, but it certainly comes close!Fly is friends with Worm and Spider, and as with the other books, all three are often seen together. Fly is learning how to "be a fly", with some ups and downs along the way (She isn't so thrilled with the idea of the food chain...). She also wants to be a superhero, though she is told that she is not cut out for the job. The illustrations are as superb as the other books, and there are several scientific facts that sneak in to the story. Keen observers will have fun picking out all the details in the artwork! A must-read, and a welcome addition to any children's library! 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful

Great addition to the worm and spider,
By Jake - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Diary Of A Fly (Hardcover)
Too few children books written today have any significant teaching or learning lessons. This one does. Science teachers, children and adults will love it.The illustrations and wit cross generations. Gotta get the set. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful

Sneak In Some Learning!,
By Wantz Upon A Time Reviews - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Diary Of A Fly (Hardcover)
Fly is a bug with lots to learn. Flies must fly, so Fly's school has teaches her how to... fly! Between school time and help from her friends Worm and Spider, Fly learns all about her strengths, and how she fits into her world.Even if you're bugged by flies, they have a place. This cute storybook teaches children in what ways flies are remarkable, but without a preachy, textbook-style tone. In her diary, Fly shares what she's learned in the form of silly happenings. From a ladybug babysitter to flying lessons by the clothesline, this is a cute book that will appeal to children from late preschool through mid-elementary.
