The book had everything so when i read it I loved it. One reason I loved it was because I loved sneaking around my house and i loved pretending to be a spy so this really helped.

My 4 year old niece is into the spy business. While kids' spy toys can be hit-or-miss in fun, I know this book was a hit. I know because I find the book all over my sister's house, and each time I see it it's a bit more battered. My niece can't read yet, but this is one of her favorite bedtime books to have mommy read from. And when she and her favorite playmate (me) are plotting a mission, we often consult this book for tips.

MY 10 year old grandson loves this book. He talks about it whenever I speak with him. He loves anything 'CIA'. I'm happy because we've found something that encourages him to read on his own.

Made spy kids for a kids club program at church and these books were fun.

13 yr old grandaugher and 8 yr old grandson had a lot of fun with the experiments and activities for the first few days, then went to other activities, with many they said they wanted to do undone.

I think it will be picked up and used again from time to time, especially since "spy" activities intrigue them both.

I think this book is great. The activities are just what I was looking for. I run a scout group and we were having a Secret Agent night so that's why I purchased the book. It gave us such great ideas for our program and the kids were able to pass off badges as well as have a heap of fun. The kids have asked for another Spy night and we'll have plenty of new ideas still to come from this book Thanks

This book was great in theory, but you really need to either buy or have on hand a lot of unusual items in order for your kid to really explore all the spy science stuff listed in here. Quite a bit of it is quite lame... even for young kids. I was really hoping this would have some cool spy activities to do - ideas to explore, etc. If you're looking for a book that brings the spy game to the level of kids and breaks down the concepts and you're willing to go the extra mil and work with them through it all... this may be what you're looking for (hence three stars and not two). If you're hoping this is something your kid can do on their own... I don't think so.

It was really good. I love spy stuff so I loved this.

I didnt look through it, but my 10 year old grandson had a big smile as he thumbed through it after opening it as a gift. I did like the size and the quality of the book. It looked to me like a good book for a kid who likes to do magic tricks and technical things.

Kids can spend hours with this thing, and I think it is a great "toy" that is one heck of a lot better than the video games or whatever else electronic they seem to want to spend time on today. What I really like about this is it gets them to think, plan, and strategize as well as have a good time doing it. When things work out there are high fives all around or if it doesn't they go back and try a different strategy and approach - each time usually with a smile on their face and relaying back to the parent and their friends how great it was.

If you are looking for a good activity for your kids this summer, this one should be on your list!
