I am a great admirer of Michael Rosen, who has simply produced so many wonderful books for children. This is an exuberant and exciting read for young children (2-4 years), with bold illustrations by Kevin Waldron. The story is simple and there is only a small amount of text on each page, making it ideal for very young children. Tiny Little Fly settles on a huge elephant, hippo and tiger, all of whom try to catch her - but Tiny Fly escapes easily. This is wonderful to read aloud - "Great Big Elephant. TRAMP! CRUSH! TRAMP!", allowing children to join in with the story and make the noises and identify the animals. Lots of fun and the illustrations leap off the page. Another winner from the wonderful Mr Rosen.

I bought this book because my little girl was having a problem with flies. This book helped us to communicate to her that flies are silly little things even though in the book the fly outwits all the bigger animals.
The book is beautifully illustrated but that's not of great importance to me for the reason I wanted this book. The verses had rhythm but were a "bit off". Maybe I'm being overly critical but it just didn't quite do it for me. "My oh, my, tiny little fly. Tiny little fly went flying by..." Cute but not much sustenance, a bit disappointing.
