Secret Agent Man Goes Shopping for Shoes

32 pp. | Candlewick | June, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-7119-8 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Brian Won. Secret Agent Man (codename: S.A.M.) and his mother, K. ("Short for Kay"), navigate an ordinary day, including shoe shopping, naptime, and laundry. But in young Sam's imagination, they're conducting dangerous spy missions. At times the line between imagination and reality is blurry, but Won's terrifically retro illustrations (using a Cold War palette of dusky blues and black for the spy sequences) help tremendously.
