Summary: A hilarious new Fly Guy adventure -- when Fly Guy joins Buzz's class on a trip to a flyswatter factory, it's the "best field trip ever!" When Fly Guy goes to school with Buzz, they learn that his class is taking a field trip to a flyswatter factory! BAD NEWZZ! Fly Guy tries to hide in Buzz's pocket, but when the tour guide starts insulting flies, Buzz cannot help but stick his head out. A robotic flyswatter named the Super Swatter detects Fly Guy, and Fly Guy causes a hilarious ruckus in his efforts to escape. At the end of this zany adventure, the flyswatter factory announces an end to its factory tours and the students use their free flyswatters as art to celebrate the "best field trip ever!"<br />

Three Honor Books were selected:<br />

It hasn't been easy, but he now has his rider, Jane, well trained. He'll trot. He'll canter. He'll jump the jumps. He's a perfect pony . . . when she gives him treats. But on the day of the big horse show, Jane is so nervous she forgets his treats. Will Paddywack dig in his hooves? Or can he rise to the occasion?<br /><br />Random House, 2010ACPL Kidshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02878281729563391461noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719115146420716647.post-8969936071886075312010-11-01T12:20:00.000-04:002010-11-01T12:23:49.701-04:00Zelda and Ivy: The Big Picture by Laura Mcgee Kvasnosky<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://acpl.aquabrowser.com/?itemid=%7Cacpl-bibs%7Cocn495271428"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL64t93vM7AYsiNQNvO2daRFBNejQS0APoYsFtHhQ7X-vQoD1XsNC04_Jhfd4UxnUm9MgT8lsgB3DZpicvvfC18e1SpbiW16ohnS1lTUyb2BT2WUPrZdpBdVuCFMJcPs8P3EVMez_kMtk/s320/zelda.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533254171432870738" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://acpl.aquabrowser.com/?itemid=%7Cacpl-bibs%7Cocn495271428">Zelda and Ivy: The Big Picture</a> by Laura Mcgee Kvasnosky<br /><br />After fox sisters Zelda and Ivy and their best friend Eugene watch the new Secret Agent Fox movie, they are inspired to do some detective work then practice their new skills when rain threatens their campout plans.<br /><br />Candlewick Press, 2010ACPL Kidshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02878281729563391461noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719115146420716647.post-43768353432994329262010-11-01T12:00:00.000-04:002010-11-01T12:20:47.435-04:00Fancy Nancy Spectacular Spectacles by Jane O'Connor<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://webcat.acpl.lib.in.us/uhtbin/cgisirsi/x/0/0/5?searchdata1=fancy+nancy+spectacular+spectacles+and+oconnor&library=ALL&user_id=WEBSERV"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 102px; height: 152px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1VOU6wqThTTRgVg1XGD1xpryClj80t9JJnCsStSUjoJizv-qiJ46y4a4waMtI1W-r0HQzx2sC6aEx3Qwwh7wVtBiU4PwTJx9n_1K8WYpNpRItfKAkwEzBMwmVW53LXgIuCnXMMatovsQ/s320/fancynancyspectacles.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504945497665913826" border="0" /></a><a href="http://webcat.acpl.lib.in.us/uhtbin/cgisirsi/x/0/0/5?searchdata1=fancy+nancy+spectacular+spectacles+and+oconnor&library=ALL&user_id=WEBSERV">Fancy Nancy Spectacular Spectacles</a> by Jane O'Connor<br /><br />Illustrated by Robin Preiss Glasser and Ted Enik<br /><br />Nancy thinks that Bree's new glasses are simply spectacular.
