Poopie the Fly and Friends Kindle Edition

by Esther Hildahl (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
5.0 out of 5 stars 2 ratings
This book tells the story of Poopie the bluebottle fly and his friends Frederick, Amber, Butch, Luna the butterfly, Gordy the rat, and one other friend that Poopie doesn’t tell his friends about—a black spider named Mr. Inky.

At school, Mr. Horace teaches his fly students to always be aware of their surroundings, but try as he might, Poopie and his friends somehow manage to get into one dangerous situation after another. Read and discover how Poopie escapes from a poop-eating dog, a fly-eating dog, a sticky drink, a birdbath full of yellow jackets, flyswatters, the hundreds of spiders in the dark woods, and a vicious praying mantis who comes to live in their backyard with the wooden fence.

Find out how Poopie eventually stands up to a bully and how at last he discovers his color blue is not dull at all, but beautiful.

Esther J. Hildahl always knew she would write a children's book someday and, from the time she was a child, she knew it would be about frogs. After she retired from teaching in elementary school, she wrote and illustrated her first book, Meadow Pond, a story of frogs, a frog-eating snake, and some mean Red Boat kids. After doing battle with a black spider in her kitchen one day, she wrote her second book, Mr. Inky:Spider with an Attitude, the story of a spider who comes to live in a girl's bedroom and won't leave, even after she tries to do him in. This book won a Northern Lights Book Award in the Pre-Teen Fiction category( 2019). Inspired by her mother who loved to grow tomatoes , she wrote and illustrated her third book, Marie's Marvelous Tomato, the story of a lonely girl and her unusual tomato. One day, she discovered a dead bluebottle fly on the floor of her back porch. She picked it up, admiring its beautiful blue color. Suddenly it came alive, flapped its wings rapidly and flew away. Right then, she knew her next book would be about a bluebottle fly and its name would be Poopie. Poopie the Fly and Friends was her fourth book and because the character Mr. Inky from her second book was so popular with children, she made him a character in this story, too. Esther has been married to her husband, Bob, for many years. He loves her books and helps her sell them at the many craft fairs and book signings they go to. Charlotte is their beloved black toy poodle. Most of her life, she has lived in Spokane, WA, but has also lived elsewhere for short periods of time, including Germany. She has many hobbies, but enjoys writing for children the most.

    5.0 out of 5 stars This book will change how you see insects forever!
    Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2021
    I initially bought this book fir my granddaughters: ages 4, 6 & 9, but I wanted to read it first. Before I knew it, I was laughing at the wonderful characters this author created from no less than flies, a spider & even a praying mantis!
    It is a wonderful story of how Poopy, the bluebottle fly survives various near-death experiences, including - but not limited to - being eaten alive to getting trapped in a dark, spooky spider-filled forest to standing up to a bully as he discovers his inherent worth. He survives because he listens raptly to his teacher to “be aware of your surroundings” always and to trust your instincts.
    Not only does this story keep you on edge, wondering if Poopy will make it, it teaches many scientific facts about ants, butterflies, spiders and, of course, flies. It teaches children (and adults) that flies (and other insects) are not ALL bad, but sometimes do honorable things like: help a friend, inspire others, and even pollenate flowers! I even believe that children will love the main character so much because of their love of the word “poop” and bathroom jokes, because the author never shrinks from telling it like it is, I.e., flies like poop!
