Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
My, oh my! An elusive fly stirs up some mighty beasts in this witty tale for the very young, from a British Children's Laureate and a talented Irish illustrator.
When Tiny Little Fly sees great big toes (and lands on a great big nose), the poor elephant tries--tramp, crush, tramp--but can't catch it. Off flies the fly! The teasing insect easily misses the rhino's roll, squash, roll and the tiger's swat, swoop, snatch too. Michael Rosen's simple language is a joy to read aloud, while Kevin Waldron's whimsical images match his playful rhythm beat for beat, offering a fly's-eye view of each favorite animal before revealing the energized creature in full. How will this gently suspenseful adventure end? Fly, fly, fly!
With a tramp and a roll and a swat, Great Big Elephant, Great Big Hippo, and Great Big Tiger try to capture Tiny Little Fly as he teases each one in turn.
