Diary of a Fly by Doreen Cronin

Diary of a Fly
By Doreen Cronin; illustrated by Harry Bliss

The ups and downs of a young fly's life are captured in funny pictures and in her own words, including flying lessons, school lunches and meeting the toughest babysitter ever: "She brought a frog." Fun facts about flies are mixed in with the jokes and silliness.
