Can Agent A complete his mission and uncover a rogue spy? Find out,
in this silly, spy-themed alphabet book by illustrator-author Andy
Rash (The Robots Are Coming) as you walk through the alphabet one
letter (and one secret agent) at a time. Agent A receives an urgent
mission from the boss: "Every spy who is official/ uses words with
his initial./ But one spy is out of line./ I need to know his name by
nine." So the faithful agent takes off, racing through the alphabet
to find the troublemaker: "Agent B correctly chooses/ Blue and so the
Bomb defuses"; "Agent C is Crawling up/ the window using suction
Cups." Crossing suspects off his list, Agent A works his way through
a goofy, bumbling crew of colleagues who wear all sorts of crazy gear
to complete their missions: "Agent I is Incognito,/ posing as a large
mosquito". All the stories check out, until Agent A makes a startling
discovery that could get him kicked out of the agency (and make him
miss the big Agent Dance!). Rash keeps the pace fast and funny,
drawing dynamic spreads that maintain the book's mock-serious, Get
Smart tone while still providing plenty of colorful, comedic details,
from surreptitiously poisoned martinis to a gadget-equipped circular
agent bed. (Ages 4 to 8) --Paul Hughes
