Flies are such a nuisance. They’re pests who don’t understand the words “personal space“. Just buzzing and flying, and flying and buzzing, with no real purpose except: annoyance.
But…
One guy took one fly and injected it with a real purpose, giving us one of the best picture book series EVER. Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, flies and guys– let’s give a round of applause to: Tedd Arnold.
Yesterday on Jan. 20th, we celebrated his birthday and his accomplishments as a children’s book author and illustrator. Tedd Arnold has written and illustrated over 100 books over his career (the number continues to increase as his creative juices overflow out onto the pages). You may recognize a few of your favorite books in his expansive repertoire: Fly Guy, Noodleheads, More Parts!...just to name a few.
Help us celebrate Tedd Arnold’s birthday by checking out his books and reading the genius behind our favorite, beloved characters! Don’t know where to start, no worries. Below are a few choices to begin with. As always, Happy Reading! -Miss Aaliyah
