Fly Guy Presents Dinosaurs by Tedd Arnold –ADVISABLE


Arnold, Tedd Fly Guy Presents Dinosaurs 144 pgs. Random House Books for Young Readers, 2014. $3.99 Content: Language: G (0 swears); Mature Content: G Violence: G. NON-FICTION
Fly Guy and Buzz, his pet fly, go a on a field trip to a natural history museum to learn all about dinosaurs. The text is short and interesting and includes interjections by Buzz, pronunciations for challenging words, and little jokes.
I love the visuals in this book, they are a skillfully chosen combination of cartoons, photographs, and re-creations. There is plenty of variety on background types and colors as well as text variety for added interest. I think early readers will ADORE this book! The text is just perfect for beginning readers. Students already adore Fly Guy books, so this is a great way to help them love non-fiction.
