"Calling Secret Agent A. / Here's your mission for today: / 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." Agent A discovers Agent B clipping the blue wire from a bomb, Agent C crawling up a wall using suction cups, and so on. The couplets are bouncy and the illustrations appealing in this clever alphabet caper.
