(3) K-3 Illustrated by Charles Santoso. The protagonist longs to be a super spy. Since wishing doesn't make it so, he follows advice from "the Chief" (his father) and acquires some gear, but still he's unable to escape detection. Entertaining wordplay ("great sneakers need great sneakers") punches up the text. Cleanly composed digital illustrations show a perky little boy and a laid-back, gray-clad dad, who could actually be a spy.
Reviewer: Elissa Gershowitz
