Review by Ranim Sankari:
Fly High, Fly Guy is a silly, humorous book that can be enjoyed by an appropriate aged students mainly for Kindergarten. The illustrations make this book even more interesting and teachers will definitely gain the attention of their students. The pictures are big and can be very easily seen along with the fact that the mixture of multicolored pictures help grasp the students attention even more.
This book would be useful when teaching…
- This book can be used when teaching a writing lesson to stretch the child's imagination and get them thinking. The teacher can have students write down what would have happened if Fly Guy, the pet, did not go on the road trip with them.
