Review: This main message of this book is to listen. The importance of listening is when Fly Guy shows off his magic tricks at dinner even after Buzz tells him to stop his tricks. Fly Guy did his backstroke in Buzzs' mom's milk and then made Buzzs' dad fall when he flew around him. Fly Guy created

too much mayhem from not listening. Thus, I think the importance of listening to others was highlighted during this scene. It was also shown when Fly Guy did listen because he only did his tricks when the word "now" was said and that helped Buzz escape from a bully situation. Therefore, I think this book can show children what could happen when they do listen and what could be a result if they do not listen.

Summary: In this chapter book, Buzz and Fly Guy show off the tricks that Fly Guy has learned. Although Buzz's friends find Fly Guys tricks entertaining, Buzz's parents do not. Fly Guy's tricks causes a discrepancy during dinner and Buzz realizes that these may not be the best idea to do around certain people. However, Fly Guy's tricks come in handy when they help Buzz escape from a bully and in return for Fly Guy helping Buzz out, Buzz teaches Fly Guy how to high-five.
