This was such a great read! It was very entertaining and the storyline was great. Thank you for the advanced copy!

I read this with my 1st grade son. He was really interested in the topics of space and the life of a fly. He laughed at a couple of the jokes. The illustrations were very cute. I think this would please a wide variety of young readers.

Such a wonderful book.
Really cute story.The artwork was so good.
Me and my niece had a really good time reading it.

This is an adorable picture book about a Texan fly named Flynn. Flynn wants to be an astronaut. he sneaks off to visit a rocket ship nearby and gets trapped inside. Here is where the adventure begins. From space Flynn enjoys an out of this world perspective of Earth's most cherished iconic places like New York City's Staute of Liberty, and Paris' Eiffel Tower to name a few. Flynn learns about gravity and G-force from the astronaut on board. This is a educational and feel good story for the little ones.

Such a wonderful book! As a homeschooling mom, I can appreciate the way it is approaching learning about space in a playful manner, through a picture book. The arr work is wonderful in the book. And it will even comes with a glow in the dark poster! I think if you want a fun book, that is engaging and educational, this is the one for you!

This is so cute! Flynn is a fly who isn't focused on regular fly things because he's focused on becoming an astronaut. When he goes into space, he has amazing adventures and gets a new perspective on Earth. His loving family supports him in his unusual ambition.
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this.

Hmmm… A fly that is gagging to be an explorer ends up by mistake on a rocket to space, and therefore proves the benefits of a curious mind. It also provides evidence that the Earth is special, and seeing it all like that increases the feeling it ought to be protected. Cockamamie beats – ie the response from anyone and everyone to the stowaway – don't help, and there are better ways to convey the same sentiments. The visuals look both wonderful and cheap and entirely inappropriate at the same time – the landmarks from ascension look dreadful, and just what is happening with that pencil?! I think the text is just as bad as the imagery, mind – the story is too brief to ever get us to care for Flynn the fly, and the story and telling are just too blunt, and end up bodging the mix of science lesson and entertainment. Not sinfully inept, but not recommended.

Fun, well written, and very well illustrated book about a fly who is enarmored with rocket ships and finally has his dream come true when he gets to go on a mission. Sweet, enjoyable, and very nicely done, this is a fun book for the young set.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC!

My 3yo daughter had her mind blown when she realized that girls could be astronauts while reading this book. So thanks for helping me remind her that girls can do anything. Even girl flies. 😂 she liked seeing the pictures of earth and the fly family at the end.

I read this book with my daughter this afternoon and she loved it!

She has been a massive fan of space and all things related since a young age, and as with most children she wanted to be an astronaut and used to dress up as one so I guessed that this book would be a it with her, and it certainly was!

The illustrations were lovely and they worked really well with the story to bring it all together. As a parent the pages were great and I loved that some key landmarks were highlighted on the journey to Space too.

It was well written and easy to follow and laid out really well. The text was nice and clear and not clouded by the illustrations. It is 5 stars from me for this one - very highly recommended!

The Fly Who Flew Space is a picture book about a fly named Flynn, who through their curiosity about space and being an astronaut, ends up unintentionally going to space in a space shuttle. It is a sweet story about going for your dreams, even if they seem impossible. The illustrations are very cute and my kids enjoyed many silly moments (especially math using waste). This is a great story for early elementary aged students.

Thanks to The Collective Book Studio and NetGalley for an eARC of this book for an honest review.
