Fly Guy by Tedd Arnold

Hi! Today I read Fly Guy by Tedd Arnold. It is kind of humorous. the story is about a fly that is free and does not have any owner. He was looking for something tasty and slimy (like vomit and dead fish, gross). All of a sudden, a little boy finds him and remembers that there is a perfect pet show coming up! The boy really wants enter a pet. The boy trapped the fly in a jar and the Fly was really mad becasue he wanted to be free. So he stomped his little fly foot and buzzed all over the place and he said "buzz". the boy said, "Cool!, he knows my name!" The fly was still buzzing in anger. Buzz takes the fly to his parents, they say "Flies can't be pets, they're supposed to be pests!" Buzz says, "But he knows my name!" He releases the fly who flies around and the dad gets the fly swatter. The fly lands on Buzz's nose, and Buzz captures the fly again. The fly starts to like Buzz. So Buzz names the fly, Fly guy and takes him to the Perfect Pet Show. The judges say, "No way, flies can't be pets". With all Fly Guy's might, he flies, does tricks and says Buzz's name. The judges huddle up, and they all agree that Fly guy wins first place AND the smartest pet award!

The Ginger Bread Baby by Jan Brett

Hi! Today I read The Ginger Bread Baby by Jan Brett.

It's about a boy named Matti, his mother, his father and a Ginger Bread Baby. The mother pulls out a blue bowl, an old cook book, and cooking equipment. With her son Matti she bakes a ginger bread man. They roll the dough and shape the dough into a ginger bread man. They never forget to put ginger and spices in it. The cook book says the ginger bread man has to bake for 8 minutes. After 5 minutes, Matti can't wait. He opens the oven up and out pops not a ginger bread man, but a Ginger Bread Baby! He runs around all over the place, on the goats, on Matti's father, up a momma pig, a cat, a dog, and he ties two little girls braids into a knot together! The fox and the momma pig almost ate the Ginger Bread Baby, but he was too quick and fast to get eaten. All of a sudden the Ginger Bread Baby smelled a familiar smell. It was a ginger bread house with candy sprinkled all over it! He ran inside the ginger bread house not knowing it was a trap that Matti made. Right when the Ginger Bread Baby ran into the ginger bread house, Matti closed the doors and took him home. At the end of the book the Ginger Bread Baby says

"I'm the little Ginger Bread Baby, lucky as can be, to be living in this house that Matti made for me!"
