Synopsis
A buzzy fly and a mischievous kitten make a mess on the farm in this contemporary twist on a classic rhyme. This is the fly that buzzed on by over the house that Zack built . . . Readers in the know may recognize Zack and his trusty dog, Rufus, from Alison Murray's Hickory Dickory Dog. Now Zack is enjoying a day on the farm, building an amazing house with his blocks. But nearby, a wandering fly has attracted the attention of an inquisitive and determined feline. Stalking and chasing through stylish illustrations, the cat unintentionally creates havoc. Sleeping dog and serene lambs scatter, and the fly lands precariously on top of Zack's house. What will Zack do? Children will buzz over this delightful read-aloud -- and parents and teachers will appreciate Zack's commonsense clean-up.

The price value is really super nice, as the fast shipping is. My books arrived double wrapped which prevented any damage during delivery...love that. I will certainly be shopping with this Seller again. Seller cares about the books they sell and the customer service is a big WOW. Thank you Seller!

    Book matches the description in the listing. The price was great as well. Shipped quickly. Packaging was terrible, just a thin plastic envelope with no cardboard to protect the book or bubble wrap. Luckily it only had a few dings, but it should have been better protected. Unsure if I'd risk buying again after this experience.
