Review

Spy Guy wants to be a good sneak but it is going to take some work. Fortunately, Spy Guy has a friend he calls Chief who is also his Dad. Chief proceeds to show him the ropes through instructive little rhymes.

"If you seek to sneak try not to speak."

"Great sneakers need good sneakers."

"If you want to be stealthy you must be healthy."

Chief poses a challenge to Spy Guy that he must successfully sneak up on Chief to be considered a successful spy and finally despite burps and sneezes and slurping etc. and sheer exhaustion he manages to succeed with help from a sneaky little spider.

"The secret to spying is to never stop trying." Mission Accomplished.

Filled with large, bold and charming illustrations this would be a great book to share with a large group and would work well for an interactive read.

Overall Book Score: very good
