The Fly Guy series is one of the best-selling early reader series in the United States. It started with Hi! Fly Guy in 2005, when Buzz catches a fly for a pet show and discovers the fly can say his name. From there, the two become inseparable friends who get into all kinds of ridiculous situations.

Each book is short and full of wordplay, puns, and physical comedy that appeals to kids who are just starting to read on their own. The series has sold over eight million copies, and the first book earned a Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor Award. Titles like Fly Guy vs. the Flyswatter! and Attack of the 50-Foot Fly Guy! give a sense of the playful tone throughout the series.
