Publisher Description
What will distract first-time students from first-day jitters? Entering secret-agent mode, of course! The team from Mission: New Baby is back with a new assignment: turn school into a thrilling action adventure! After rendezvousing at the vehicle checkpoint (meeting at the bus stop), young agents will learn to build diplomatic relations (make new friends), conduct fieldwork (explore outside during science class), and develop new lines of communication (learn to read and play music). Chock-full of tips and fun visuals, it’s bound to get kids excited for their next mission!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Hood and Lundquist reprise the conceit behind Mission: New Baby (2015) as they bring a secret agent sensibility to the "hunt for intelligence" (aka going to school). In numbered steps, Hood walks readers through the mission, which includes "#3. Meet intelligence officer" (that would be the teacher) and "#10. Report rogue agent" (a rabbit that has escaped its cage). Hood revels in these and numerous other puns throughout. "Watch out!" It's a sting operation!" shouts one boy, as the spies-in-training "conduct fieldwork" by observing bugs outside (including a very active beehive). During recess, twins are "double agents" and a "high-level meeting" is held atop the playground's climbing dome, all captured with warm humor in Lundquist's watercolor-and-pencil illustrations. Ages 3 7.
