[LM_NET] Target elem. Fly Guy

[leah ayers <lkpayers@GMAIL.COM>]

My boys LOVE Fly Guy.  My reading resource teachers also like them because
they are good for boys who are struggling readers.  Some of the boys who are
on a Frog and Toad/Henry and Mudge reading level feel that Henry and
Mudge/Frog and Toad are "babyish", but they love the humor or Fly Guy.
Any suggestions once they have read all of the Fly Guy books????
