    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?

    "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
