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.Performed by Academy-Award Nominee Abigail Breslin.Download and start listening now!
"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."

" This is great fun and even has some cool facts about flies hidden within the story. "
— Crystal, 2/6/2014 -
" 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. "
— Elizabeth, 2/6/2014 -
" Frank liked it. We got this one with the audio CD companion, and Frank seemed to really enjoy the format (listening to it with clues about when to turn the page). "
— Frank, 1/17/2014 -
" Same vein as worm and spider...science plus story with humor create a fun book for preschoolers. "

— ♥Cynthia♥, 12/7/2013 -
" 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. "
— Tiff, 12/4/2013 -
" 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! "
— The, 11/19/2013 -

" Great picture book to use to introduce students to narrative writing or informational genres. "
— Whittney, 12/19/2012 -
" This book is fantastic!! It will captivate children with the great illustrations. The book is very exciting and gives detail about what happens in school such as the first day, school pictures, and recess from a flies point of view. Children will be able to relate well to this story! "

" Another great Diary book. I didn't like this one quite as well as the other 2 but it is still a fun book to read. "
— Inspired, 9/9/2012 -
" 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. "
— April, 8/26/2012 -
" Clever and funny with just a hint of information to keep it educationally valuable. Good diary text. "
— Matthew, 8/26/2012 -
" I love these series! This book is from the perspective of a fly in his diary. He starts school and does a science observation on a human, makes an "About me" book, and worries about fitting in. Students loved this book and were cracking up during the read aloud. "
— Lena, 7/23/2012 -
" This is a great book because its funny and short and also because it shows what a fly likes to do and also because when I was a little kid I loved this book. "
— Cameron, 6/18/2012 -
" Popular series featuring Fly, Spider, and Worm, a trio of friends; often funny, in the silly/gross vein of humor; about as cute as insects can be. "
— Laura, 4/11/2012 -
" This is the third "Diary of..." books by Diane Cronin. Our favorite is still i>Diary of a Worm. All three cleverly have the writer explain their days. We learn a little about the anatomy of a fly and how they live but it's written in diary style, like a young person. "
— Jennifer, 3/14/2012 -
" my five year old twins love all of doreen cronin's books. "
