Hi! Fly Guy, and I Spy Fly Guy were both Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor Books."I'm a huge fan of the Fly Guy series," says elementary school teacher Amanda Furman. "The books are cute and funny, Buzz and Fly Guy are great friends and nice to people, the words are easy AND there are chapters! [Fly Guy vs. Flyswatter] teaches us to be brave and help those who might not be able to help themselves."Original music by Austin Zumbro will have hip-hop elements and accompanying breakdancing choreography by Broadway veteran Kemba Shannon. "Hip-hop and bug talk make Fly Guy a jammin' new musical. Austin Zumbro's poppin' music will delight audiences for years to come.
