Publisher Description

This is the diary … of a fly.

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 #1 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.

"Diary of a Fly is part of the series, "Diary of a Worm". Fly and worm are friends, and the book contains the diary of the fly. I think this book, because it has many non-fiction aspects about the life of a fly. It can be used in a unit on insects. It discusses the stages of a fly's life and anatomy of their body. It includes humor, but also incorportates learning."

Quotes

  • “Young readers will love this imaginative recreation of a fly’s world with a human twist.”

    " This one is Zoey's favorite, probably because fly is a girl. Again, fun to read, fun to look at, fun to discover new things that we didn't see in previous readings. "

    " I was prepared to be disappointed when I saw this book, after not loving 'Diary of a Spider'...however, I was pleasantly surprised to find myself laughing out loud! This is just as good as 'Diary of a Worm' and I can't wait to read it with my second graders. "

    " Every one of Cronin's "Diary" books is ROTFL funny, and this one is no exception. Better for elementary school students than preschoolers--teachers, grab these books when you're doing lessons on worms, spiders and flies! "

    " Just like the Dairies before it, this one is super funny! I love all the great details in the illustrations. My favorite is the kick me sign on the babysitter lady bug. Great for promoting our buggy Summer Reading Program theme this year. There is a great balance of funny and fly fact. "
