Agent Moose #1: Agent Moose by Mo O'Hara (author) and Jess Bradley (illustrator)

Our January 2022 Ages 5-6 Book of the Month

Bring on a new year of reading with a brand new character that looks set to become a favourite, especially if you are a fan of Dog Man and great graphic reads with a quick hit of humour and lots of pace. Let me introduce you to possibly your new best friend – Agent Moose! He’s a spy with an eye for mischief and adventure, and like all good stories he has an amazing side kick, called Owlfred! Something fishy is going on at the South Shore. Folks just disappear and are never seen again. But when Agent Moose learns that a key witness has gone missing, he and Owlfred ride to the rescue.

This is a very funny and accessible tale, and does for spies what Dog Man does for superheroes, with brilliant pictures as well. Will they find the missing turtle before time runs out? Read on to find out in my pick, especially good if you’re thinking where next after Dog Man and want a funny and accessible read for ages 6+.
