I’ve been looking for books for Charlie to read this Summer so he is prepared for 5th grade. While we was in the store the other day I saw Fly Guy 6 Easy To Read Stories Hardcover – 2009

Charlie had some of the Fly Guy books but he loaned them to his friends and didn’t get the books back. I’m not sure if Charlie still has any of the Fly Guy books or not.

Knowing Charlie enjoys Fly Guy books I will be purchasing Fly Guy 6 Easy To Read Stories for Charlie. Once I purchase Fly Guy 6 Easy To Read and can see in person which books are in the series I will go back get the rest of the Fly Guy Series for Charlie.

When Charlie finishes reading Fly Guy 6 Easy To Read Stories if Charlie doesn’t want to keep this book I can give it to Elijah my grandson or Jason and Lily my niece and nephew to read.

This collection includes the following Fly Guy adventures:

About Tedd Arnold

Tedd Arnold

Born in Elmira, New York, Tedd grew up in a family of six with three brothers. His family lived on a farm in Pennsylvania for several years then returned to Elmira until Tedd was ten years old.

His father’s work then required that they move to Gainesville, Florida. There, Tedd’sfirst art lessons in an abandoned dentist’s office over the Happy Hour pool hall eventually led to a fine arts degree from the University of Florida.

He and his wife, Carol, started their family in Tallahassee where Teddworked as a commercial illustrator. Carol, a Kindergarten teacher, drew Tedd’s attention to children’s books.

Their first son, Walter, inspired his breakthrough picture book, No Jumping on the Bed!. His second son, William, now stars in No More Water in the Tub!, a sequel to his first book.

He has now published more than 30 books as author and illustrator. When not working on his books, Tedd’s interests include tennis, sketching, reading, coin collecting, and the computer.

“The inspiration to begin writing and illustrating for children came from my wife, Carol. As a kindergarten teacher, she collected picture books. I was attracted to their colorful pages and the way the words and pictures played with each other, much like the captioned cartoons I had drawn when I was young.

“Perhaps the biggest surprise of my career as an author is that I’m now going back to elementary school! Visiting young readers in classrooms and libraries is something I love. Kids keep me on my toes and they ask a lot of questions.

The number one question seems to be, ‘Where do you get your ideas?’ It’s also the hardest question to answer because every idea is different. Some ideas seem to pop out of thin air — while I’m in the shower or walking the dog. Others come from reading or research. But most of my ideas come from my family and the things they do and say.

“For instance, one time when my first son, Walter, was five years old, I found him lying on the couch, looking pale as a ghost and clutching a Bible to his chest. He was praying! When I asked what was wrong, he wouldn’t answer. In fact, he wouldn’t even open his mouth. My wife, Carol, finally coaxed a response from him: he pointed inside his mouth.

Carol exclaimed, ‘You have a loose tooth!’ Walter’s eyes nearly popped out with fright. We quickly assured him that it was perfectly okay for his tooth to come loose and that a new one would replace it.

But Carol and I looked at each other and realized that despite all our efforts to be good parents, we had somehow completely forgotten to warn Walter that teeth fall out!

He had thought he was falling apart! I made a little note in my journal; then ten years later, I expanded that memory into my book Parts. “Tedd Arnoldlives in Elmira, New York, with his wife, Carol, two sons, Walter and William, two cats, Cody and Frankie, and one dog, Hershey.
