Why Flies Buzz
Retold by Rosie McCormick and beautifully brought to life with expressive illustrations by Gail McIntosh, "Why Flies Buzz" is a charming and humorous adaptation of a classic traditional folktale that answers a whimsical question about the natural world: why do flies make that distinct, repetitive buzzing sound?
Belonging to the pourquoi (origin) story genre, this narrative takes young readers on a playful journey featuring a cast of clever, quirky animal characters. Through their interactions, misunderstandings, and adventures, the story unfolds a creative moral lesson that explains how the fly lost its voice and ended up with its signature buzz. With simple yet engaging language, this book is highly effective for early readers building their vocabulary, while serving as a fantastic read-aloud choice for parents and teachers to spark imaginative discussions about nature and folklore.
