“Spy Guy was a spy.  But not a very good one.”  Spy Guy needs help so he goes to the Chief, his dad.  In short rhymes, the Chief gives advice.  To sneak, don’t speak or squeak.  Spy Guy’s attempts fall short.  Finally the Chief offers Spy Guy a challenge – to sneak up on him.  After several tries, Spy Guy gets a hint from a spider and surprises his Chief.  Mission accomplished!  One last rhyme provides a closing rule, “The secret to spying is to never stop trying.”  Illustrations are large and expressive with plenty of white space to showcase details.  There is a spider on every page, watching the trials of Spy Guy.  Its inclusion in the artwork adds detail and interest to the story without using words.
