Description
Spy Guy is a spy—but not a very good one. He's too loud, too squeaky, and in need of a good disguise. All Spy Guy wants is to figure out the secret to spying. But as the Chief says,that he must discover for himself. With a lot of trial and even more error, can Spy Guy figure out the secret to spying?

Editorial Reviews
"Fluffy fun that promotes visual literacy and will make a positive addition to interactive storytime collections."
—School Library Journal
"Santoso's art conveys broadly comical action, and his slightly retro palette and exaggerated cartoon style are well-suited to the undercover prowess Spy Guy seeks."
—Kirkus
"Santoso’s crisp images and liberal use of white space keep the focus on domestic comedy...but it quickly turns into a tribute to savvy parental mentoring."
—Publishers Weekly
"Santoso's wonderfully noirish illustrations make this book fun and engaging, as do Young's rhyme schemes and wordplay."
—Booklist
