Old Black Fly

An Old Favorite.  By Jim Aylesworth.  Illustrations by Stephen Gammell.

One of our favorite books.  We love the cadence - and practically sing it.  The illustrations are spectacular as well.

Old black fly's been

buzzin' around,

buzzin' around,

buzzin' around.

Old black fly's been

buzzin' around,

And he's had a very

busy bad day.

...

And I love the dedication:

To my brother Bill,

a legendary swatter of flies,

with love.   -- J.A.
