Review
andquot;Fluffy fun that promotes visual literacy and will make a positive addition to interactive storytime collections.andquot;
andmdash;School Library Journal
andquot;Santosoand#39;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.andquot;
andmdash;Kirkus
andquot;Santosoandrsquo;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.andquot;
andmdash;Publishers Weekly
andquot;Santosoand#39;s wonderfully noirish illustrations make this book fun and engaging, as do Youngand#39;s rhyme schemes and wordplay.andquot;
