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.
