Review

I really wish Brenda's books were around when my now eight-year was younger.  I just know he would have spent hours swiping the pages back and forth on our iPad, quietly soaking up at her artwork." Alpha Mom

More About the Author

Mother by day, Secret Agent by night! Or at least that's what I've been telling everyone on the internet for the last five years. The reality is I juggle motherhood and a bustling graphic design and illustration business all day long and deep into the night. The lines are blurred and that is what makes me a Secret Agent or a super hero, either one.

My daughter is my muse and she creeps into my art in the most unexpected ways (sometimes literally).

1.0 out of 5 stars Misleading Title January 20, 2012

By Lisa McCourt Hollar

I downloaded this book because it was free. If I had paid for it, I would be a bit irritated. Ok, yes it was illustrated. A is for Apple, B is for Bug...you get the idea. The words were in REALLY tiny print next to a big A or B and were not adjustable, being a part of the illustration and not seperate. Also, there was no Agent Josephine. I would expect a children's book that calls itself A Secret Agent Adventure, to have a secret agent and an adventure. The illustrations were nice but overall the story was lacking. It provided nothing new to the usual ABC picture book. I will think twice before downloading aother Secret Agent Josephine Adventure...unless the mystery is, where is Josephine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book and learning tool! May 11, 2012

Well done, nice quality, brightly colored graphics! Each letter includes an object that begins with that letter - most of these are everyday items (animals, food, etc) that young children can easily identify.

Love the idea of using these over the traditional paper flashcards which seem to always be tattered or missing cards. The only thing I miss being able to do is to 'mix up the stack' to give your child more of a challenge. I suppose you could just hit the point button at the bottom and show whatever comes up sporadically, it just seems sort of awkward to do so. Of course, this is also a great book for getting started and becoming familiar with letters.

4.0 out of 5 stars Secret Agent February 7, 2012

This is a wonderfully illustrated book of ABCs. I have to admit I always like to see a frog for F (they had a fishy) and I think it was creative to use Jellyfish, Newt, Octopus, Pumpkin things that aren't usually used. The colorful items that go with the letters make it a great book to share together. Would love to see more Secret Agent Josephine
