" The high-spirited friendship between these ever-quirky buddies translates well into the picture-book format, which gives Arnold's digital cartoons even more room to fly." Publishers Weekly

"This humorous selection is fun to read aloud but is also well designed for new readers.

Children who have enjoyed other books about Buzz and Fly Guy will love this one, too." School Library Journal

"A boy and his pet fly, Fly Guy, learn that being a friend has lots of similarities to being a pet....Readers will agree that being a pet isn't a bad life, as long as you have a good pet keeper." Kirkus
