| Publisher Description: Nothing drives a family crazy faster than an old black fly on a hot summer day, especially when the family's a little crazy already. And this fly is as bad as they come. He knows every low-down trick in the book--and won't rest until he's gone through them all. He ate on the crustof the Apple pie. He bothered the Baby and made her cry. Shoo fly! Shoo fly! Shooo. |
