Who could guess that a common, ordinary, every day fly could be special. Yet, in Freddie The Fly, the reader will soon recognize that Freddie is, indeed, quite special. Like anyone of us, the little guy unfortunately has a bad habit. His friends warn him, even scold him, but again like any of us, he does not heed their advice. Happily flying into his destiny, Freddie not only entertains but gives a powerful lesson as well. Join him and his friends as they do what every good fly does best, buzz around and look for the occasional feast to be had. Perhaps we, too, can learn the lesson Freddie learns before our own habits take us down our own path to the ultimate misadventure. To all of his readers of any age, Freddie would be sure to say, "Eat, hum and be happy!" And, then, he might add, "Good luck!"
