I enjoyed reading this book because it truly taught me a lot about insects! I learned that some insects, such as adult mayflies, have a life span of less than three days! I found a lot of information in this text helpful, but I also found it to be very lengthy. Especially for a “Fly Guy” book,

this book was very long and at times, some of the information seemed unnecessary. It was a lot of information to take in at one time. Overall, I enjoyed this book because of the fun and real pictures, along with the true and interesting facts it provided about insect, such as many bees only sting when they feel in danger. The message of this book is to teach readers about the different kinds of insects, their lifespans, what they eat, why they sting, and how they are beneficial for the earth!

pictures of insects and illustrations of Fly guy and Buzz boy. These illustrations enhanced the story to show the detail, size, and color of insects that were talked about. For example, the stick and leaf bugs were illustrated to show just how realistic they look compared to sticks and leafs. Last, the captains had descriptive language and enhanced the story. The captains added detail and further explanation and clarification. For example, the captains put names to the bugs and insects in the story. The main message of the story is to inform the reader about not all bugs are insects and not all insects are bugs. Further, different bugs and insects were talked about in detail.

Fly Guy and Buzz are outside to learn about insects.

This was interesting. I liked that the differences between insects, bugs, and others was explained. I liked the photos showing the explanations of the differences. I could see what the differences were which I have never seen before. I liked the

photos of the life cycle of an insect (a little gross but still the first time I have seen it.)

I like this series. I am learning so much that I either forgot from school or never learned.
