A parent might reach for this book when their young child begins showing a keen interest in the tiny creatures found in the backyard or neighborhood park.

This nonfiction guide uses vivid photography and simple, accessible text to explain how flies see, move, and live, turning a common household nuisance into a subject of scientific wonder.
