About This Book
In this lively picture book, a tiny fly delights in teasing three enormous jungle animals: a great big elephant, a great big hippo, and a great big tiger. Each animal attempts to catch the elusive fly with a 'tramp and a roll and a swat,' but the clever insect always manages to escape. The repetitive text and dynamic illustrations make it a fun read-aloud, perfect for sparking discussions about size, cleverness, and playful mischief, as well as the frustrations of being outwitted.
