Review by School Library Journal Review
K-Gr 2-On a boring day, Fly Guy and his boy, Buzz, amble down the sidewalk, play in the park, and cool off in the fountain. Buzz befriends Liz, who introduces her pink pet, Fly Girl, who wears a tiny bow on one antenna. The flies talk and talk "Wuzzle Wuzzle" as clever thought bubbles depict their conversation. They speak of walking through green goo together, kissing, getting married, and starting life together in an empty dog-food can, but decide to just remain friends once they imagine how much Buzz and Liz would miss them. Arnold's trademark cartoon illustrations and comical narrative will brighten any beginning reader's day, and while some boys may say this romance is totally gross, they will find plenty to laugh about in this funny addition to the series.-Laura Scott, Farmington Community Library, MI (c) Copyright 2010.

Review by Horn Book Review
In this endearing series' latest installment, Buzz, owner of Fly Guy, meets Liz, owner of Fly Girl, and they hit it off almost as well as their pets do. The ending sputters out, but everything up until then--the sincerity behind the absurd premise, the z-heavy "fly talk" ("Wuzzle wuzzie"), the subtly squiggly surfaces of the cartoony illustrations--flies right.
