About the author

Tedd grew up with three brothers. His family lived on a farm in Pennsylvania for several years then returned to Elmira until Tedd was ten years old. His father's work then required that they move to Gainesville, Florida. There, Tedd's first art lessons in an abandoned dentist's office over the Happy Hour pool hall eventually led to a fine arts degree from the University of Florida.

He and his wife, Carol, started their family in Tallahassee where Tedd worked as a commercial illustrator. Carol, a kindergarten teacher, drew Tedd's attention to children's books. Their first son, Walter, inspired his breakthrough picture book, NO JUMPING ON THE BED!.

He and his family now live in Elmira. His second son, William, now stars in NO MORE WATER IN THE TUB!, a sequel to his first book. He has now published over 50 books as author and illustrator.

Fly Guy and Buzz find themselves in another adventure, perfect for a chilly afternoon! Buzz and his parents are off on a road trip, agreeing to take Fly Guy with them. After a day of driving, the family arrives at their hotel, ready for a delicious meal. While the humans are headed for the restaurant, Fly Guy scours the garbage offerings, but cannot find anything he likes. After sneaking into the kitchen, he locates a nice bath in which he can wash off, only to discover that it is someone's soup. What follows will surely be a very messy and disruptive set of events, culminating in a very interesting undertaking. Neo liked the story and remembers going to many hotels, though none had people in a panic while trying to eat their meals! A wonderful book for the early reader, where they can discover great writing and excellent pictures.

Buzz, Mom, Dad, and Fly Guy were on a road trip, and stopped at a hotel. Fly Guy had to eat outside while Buzz, Mom, and Dad went into the dining room. Fly Guy followed the smell of something delicious, and went into the kitchen. While bathing in a customer's soup, Fly Guy startled the customer, and started a chain reaction of mishaps and mayhem.

I am 7. This was kinda my favorite book. It was a little funny. My favorite part was when everyone freaked out when fly guy kept getting in the soup!

Very suspensful. Wish there was more character development.

Fans of Fly Guy will enjoy this latest installment. Buzz's family is taking a trip. When they stop at a hotel, Buzz and his parents head to the restaurant for dinner and Fly Guy heads outside to the garbage cans and puddles to have his own supper. Unfortunately, he doesn't have a taste for anything outside, and when he smells something wonderful, he follows his nose... into the restaurant's kitchen. Mistaking a soup bowl for a bathtub, he attempts to clean up. The diner for whom the soup is intended sees Fly Guy, shrieks and sends the soup flying, and chaos ensues in the dining room. Everyone is covered with soup-- but fortunately, the hotel has a pool and all of the guests can enjoy a splashy clean-up. Large font and limited vocabulary make this early chapter book a great choice for emergent readers. Arnold's signature big-eyed illustrations are energetic and colorful, and mesh perfectly with the silly antics of Fly Guy.

My children love the fly guy series. We've read a couple now and they never fail to excite my 6 yr old and my twin 3 yr olds. I find him somewhat disgusting, but then again, I have boys, so they are still asking for more fly guy. It's also a nice break because sometimes these are on audio and I get those for them to listen to while I'm making lunch. I still read other books as well to them, but lately, these are their favorites. Arnold is quickly becoming a well known name in our household.

Cute continuation of the Fly Guy series about a family road trip.

[Catalina Paz · Rating 3 out of 5]

En este cuento veremos a Buzz y a su mejor amigo el hombre mosca, con quien se va de viaje junto con su familia. El hombre mosca es un personaje bastante llamativo, ya que es muy traviesa. Podemos ver esto cuando la mosca se mete a la sopa. Tiene un estilo de escritura poco densa con vocabulario simple, enfocándose en el lector, pero con cinco líneas de texto por página. Sus ilustraciones son grandes, con personajes expresivos y varios colores que resaltan entre las páginas. Además, son complementarias al texto. El formato del libro es ligeramente alargado, de tapa dura. El libro al ser para primeros lectores podría acortar el texto para que se pueda hacer lectura independiente, seis líneas es mucho y se pierden las ideas. Destacó las ilustraciones, ya que son detalladas y se entienden las emociones de los personajes, esto se puede ver cuando están todos con las sopas volando. Se recomienda la lectura para niños y niñas entre 4 y 6 años, junto con un mediador que acompañe la lectura.

Buzz’s family is staying at a hotel. While they head down to the restaurant for dinner, Fly Guy heads outside. He finds some lovely messes to investigate, but nothing he wants to eat. When he finally does smell something delicious, he realizes he’s a mess and needs to wash before dinner…so he plops into a convenient bathtub of nice warm liquid. But when Fly Guy’s bathtub turns out to be a lady’s soup at the restaurant, what will happen next?

This was a chaotic, wild, and humorous story of what could happen when a lady finds a fly in her soup. It’s a messy story, but kids will likely find it hilarious. Adults who clean pools should stay far, far away from this; it may give them nightmares after the succession of flying food that results form the lady finding Fly Guy in her soup, everyone jumps in the hotel pool to clean off.

Miss picked this up at the library and thought it was funny. She doesn't know the old joke that it's referencing but she very much got the humour of the visual chaos that results from Fly Guy deciding to have an innocent bath in a bowl of soup!

Miss 5 and I like to explore different books and authors at the library, sometimes around particular topics or themes. We try to get different ones out every week or so; it's fun for both of us to have the variety and to look at a mix of new & favourite authors.

Fly Guy goes on a long trip with Buzz and his family. Since he can't go into the hotel restaurant, he flies around looking for something to eat in the trash can, puddle, and dumpster. Nothing is appealing until he catches a whiff of something yummy coming from the hotel kitchen. What ensues next is a domino effect of chaos and soup everywhere.

Kids will enjoy this book and all the craziness that unfolds. On a sidenote, it would also provide some teaching point as to why flies on or in our food is not a great thing!

Such an adorable book!! The pictures were amazing, I caught myself staring at them multiple times instead of reading. This story line will definitely keep you entertained with what Fly Guy will do next. And the best part is the ending, it all seemed to come together perfectly. This would be a great read for your child (or with your child) because of the attention grabbing pictures and storyline. I also guarantee a laugh as well!!

I'm not sure what to say about this book. My child really enjoyed reading this book with me. We actually read it over and over. It is a great beginning reader book and the story line with keep the students entertained.

[Donald J. Jackson · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book was a solidly alright three-star children’s book up until the ending. The final words of the book were “HOTELZZ
FUNZZIE!” That how you end a story? The “youth speak” made me cringe enough that I took off a whole star.

Fly Guy's fun. The boys at my school especially get a kick out of him.

Hilarious, with pictures!

The old joke about a fly in the soup is reenacted with Fly Guy. It's a wacky story beginning readers will giggle at, but not much to be had for older readers.

It was funny at the end, I'm not a fan of flies, but the book was ok.

Gross! I don't like the fact that he was in the soup, and I don't like the reason why he is in the soup.
