About the Author:
Torn between a love of art, comedy, comics and wildlife, Mike Barfield did a 1st Class Honours biology degree at King's College, London. He then switched to a comedy writing career and has written for all sorts of famous shows, including Spitting Image and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. Since 1996, his 'Apparently...' cartoon has been a regular feature in Private Eye. He is also a published poet and performer and was runner-up in BBC Radio Five Live's last World Cup Sing Contest.
Review:
Every page in it is covered in colourful cartoons and witty words...If you are young, or young at heart, buy this book! --The Bug Club Magazine ... 'Swat, A Fly's Guide to Staying Alive' is so cleverly written. Its layout is similar to comic strips and its content is very comical, however it's actually a factual and informative book all about flies and other fascinating insects! ... With a RRP of just GBP6.99, this paperback book would make a great gift particularly for boys given the insect theme! This gets a very easy 5 out of 5 from us. --Natasha Kolb, What's Good To Do This is a lovely book, beautifully illustrated and packed with interesting information. You are taken on a journey of a house fly and all he experiences in his fight to survive from the dangers and predators that he encounters. This was extremely humorous thoroughly entertaining and educational too. My 8 year old son enjoyed this book very much and I would certainly recommend it. --www.letsgowiththechildren.co.uk This amusing non-fiction children's book will interest any new reader in the natural world as seen from a housefly's point of view. -- TheGuardian.com
