About the Author:
Renowned artist R.O. Blechman published his first book, The Juggler of Our Lady, in 1953 and went on to work as an animated filmmaker for such television programs as Sesame Street. He operated an animation studio for twenty-seven years and his unmistakable illustrations have frequently graced the cover of The New Yorker. Among his many honors are a 1983 Emmy Award for animation, 1999 induction into The Art Directors Hall of Fame, and a 2003 exhibition of his films at The Museum of Modern Art.
Review:
...an exceptionally popular addition...
Imaginatively written and nicely illustrated by award winning artist and animator R. O. Blechman, Franklin The Fly; is the story of a little fly who lives in the big city where he is constantly swatted at, frets about flypaper, and is ridiculed by his fellow flies for his eccentric ways. Franklin likes country air, flying loop-the-loops, and cleaning up crumbs. Taking as optimistic an outlook on life as a fly can have, Franklin's easy-going heroics are wonderfully entertaining and highly recommended for young picturebook readers and for anyone of any age who enjoys an iconic story which is as carefully crafted as it is charmingly original. Franklin The Fly would make an exceptionally popular addition to any school or community library collection. --Midwest Book Review
