006 and a Half by Kes Gray and Nick Sharratt

879602
from goodreads
4.5 stars

When we go to the library, I unleash my girls on the children's section. They run around looking with a discerning eye for the best two books they can find (two books each is my limit).  Well, my four year old found a book with  pink spine and knew it was the book for her. I helped her pry it from the shelf and there on the cover was a girl with dark sunglasses and a mustache. Uber cool!

Synopsis

This is the story of Daisy, who decides to become a spy. She dresses the part, with sunglasses and mustache. She speaks in spy code. She fills her pockets with spy gadgets and gear. When her friends and neighbours don't understand her she gets discouraged and thinks about hanging up her spy stuff. Will she really?

My Thoughts

I loved this book. I found it funny and even my kids thought it was great. I loved it when Daisy uses her spy speak to tell her mother what she wants for dinner. "'Ostriches will be swimming in tomato sauce this evening,'...(which, as any spy knows, means 'a big portion of chicken nuggets and lots of ketchup, please!')"

The illustrations were awesome. I especially liked the thought bubbles showing what people are thinking her spy speak means. Hilarious!

This is part of a series. I have not read any of the other books but I am looking forward to getting them from the library. If they are anything like this book I know my girls and I will enjoy them

Kids young and old will enjoy this spy adventure. I am glad my daughter likes pink!
