    Why Like Flies? is a first-person picture book survey of the good and bad qualities of flies and argues with the common notion that flies have no redeeming qualities: They’re dirty! They get in your eyes! They walk through your garbage! Why, oh, why should I like flies? Carol Haden provides an unexpected answer to the introductory preface of fly prejudices by focusing on protagonist Flyboy, who outlines the good things flies do for the ecosystem and questions his fellow flies’ bad reputation. How can Flyboy change the world’s bad opinion about flies? A zany adventure evolves that delivers an important eco-message while reviewing a proactive fly’s determination to make others see just how good flies can be. Libraries that choose Why Like Flies? will find its special appeal lies in its appealing blend of fun, colorful drawings, fly ecology insights, and fictional adventure.
