Focuses on the common housefly and its fondness for all things revolting. The author takes obvious joy in detailing the housefly's typical meals, which include such savoury delights as garbage-juice soup, dirty diapers, and 'doggie doo'. The Muscidae family (to which the housefly belongs) is depicted with Mom, Dad, a younger sibling, and a slouchy adolescent fly. Includes graphic illustrations and fact-filled text that traces its extensive history as well as its habitats, anatomy, and behaviors. - Baker & Taylor

Celebrates the common house fly, sharing humorous scientific facts about everything from its ability to walk on ceilings to its taste for unappetizing foods. - Random House, Inc.
The first in a series of humorous books about disgusting creatures, The Fly is a look at the common housefly. It covers such topics as the hair on the fly's body (requires a lot of shaving), its ability to walk on the ceiling (it's pretty cool, but it's hard to play soccer up there), and its really disgusting food tastes (garbage juice soup followed by dirty diaper with rotten tomato sauce, for example). Although silly and off-the-wall, The Fly contains factual information that will both amuse and teach at the same time.
