About the author
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's first 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 Tedd worked as a commercial illustrator. Their first son, Walter, inspired his breakthrough picture book, No Jumping on the Bed! His second son, William, stars in No More Water in the Tub!, a sequel to his first book. He has now published more than 100 books as author and illustrator. When not working on his books, Tedd's interests include sketching, reading, travel and building things--like a garden shed and a tree house. He says, "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. I love hearing from my readers! 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 driving down the road or taking a walk. Others come from reading or research. But most of my early ideas came from our boys and the things they would do and say. For instance, one time when our 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's current Fly Guy series has twice received the Theodor Seuss Geisel Award Honor and is approaching 20 books. He is also co-author and illustrator of a new series featuring the Noodleheads, Mac and Mac, also the recipient of a Theodor Seuss Geisel Award Honor. Tedd Arnold now lives beside a lake near Gainesville, Florida, with his wife, Carol, and their two cats, Lou and Kitty-doo.

I think that this series will be excellent for children who love Fly Guy to expand their interests into informational books which are important to read. After all, informational texts are what kids need to be able to comprehend more and more the older they get. (How many fiction books were required reading in college?) This book does exactly what it is intended to do - entices children to read nonfiction by putting a popular fictional character on the cover.
We're looking forward to the next installments.
We discovered the Fly Guy series by Tedd Arnold while visiting our local library last year. Super Noah, who was just starting 1st grade, was able to read these books all on his own. Listening to him read, laughing hysterically, it was music to my ears.
And now, a year later, we own every book in the series & Super Noah still loves Fly Guy.
If you are not familiar with the Fly Guy series, it's a super sweet story about a boy named Buzz, Buzz is trying to find himself a new pet. Once Buzz & Fly Guy meet, so begins a beautiful relationship full of adventure & giggles.
A fly as a pet you ask? Well, you will have to read the books to see where that leads (:
Yes, I admit, Superdad & I find ourselves laughing along with Super Noah during reading time.
We too love the Fly Guy series.

En cada página hay un par de fotos y un par de frases. Yo lo uso con mi hijo (6 años) para practicar inglés.
