There's a Fly in My Ear is a whimsical, rhyming picture book written for the pre-school through kindergarten audience. In the story, a young boy handles his dilemma by imagining what kind of fly could be keeping him awake with its buzzing. His imagination runs wild, but even he is not prepared for the story's surprise ending. For added enjoyment, a tiny bug or spider is hidden on all twelve illustration spreads. Enjoy the search!
