Shoo, Fly Guy! by Tedd Arnold is the third Fly Guy book in this early reader series.  In this book, Fly Guy is trying to find something to eat.  His favorite food is “brown, oozy, lumpy, and smelly.”  Fly Guy flies all over town looking for something that has all those qualities, but he can only find things that meet some of the criteria.  When he tries to eat those things, he gets chased away time and again.  It isn’t until he finds his friend Buzz again that he also finds exactly what he is hungry for. 
I am a real fan of Fly Guy.  All of the books about him are a wonderful combination of slapstick and gross humor.  They are the perfect books to give to reluctant boy readers because the zaniness will carry even the slowest readers through.  The books also make great read alouds to groups of kindergarteners or first graders.  Share the fun!
Oh, I should mention that the image doesn’t do the cover of this book justice. Rather than being a dull tan, it is actually a very psychodelic green/gold that catches the light. It will also catch the eye of kids.
Released in September.

How Do Dinosaurs Learn Their Colors? and How Do Dinosaurs Play with Their Friends? by Jane Yole and Mark Teague are two more books in the ever-expanding collection of How Do Dinosaurs… books.  The books retain the clever illustrations, straight-forward concepts, and format of the original.  In Play with Their Friends, the book begins by showing how not to share and play nicely and then switches to having the dinosaurs demonstrate how they act if they are being good friends.  Learn Their Colors is a pure concept book with colored items on each page.  Both books are board books and little dinosaur lovers will enjoy seeing dinosaurs acting like people.  Purchase where other books in the series are popular.
