L is for she LAUGHS at the days- an interview with Secret Agent Josephine

After a long career as a super spy Secret Agent Josephine is now coming forward to tell her story in this colorful set of illustrated children’s books written by Brenda Ponnay aka Secret Agent Josephine.

They are available in any e-reader format and hardcopy.

I’ve been reading about Secret Agent Josephine’s adventures long enough to remember when she originally created the alphabet book as flash cards for her own baby Bug to learn with. Of course, as she showed us all the pictures one at a time as they were created, she generously shared with everyone else. Once upon a time you could get the alphabet Secret Agent Josephine style for free.

She’s the most generous super spy I know, and blogger.

Now you can get it for only $2.99 on your super spy reading devices, like a kindle or iPad.

Even my big kids were enthralled with these books. It was evening and the light was awful when I showed them these but I grabbed some shots of them reading nonetheless.  

(The next morning they again poured over the pages and spent the next several days inventing new spy gadgets.)

A toy laptop made from a free printable and a wipes container! How awesome is that?

 This was after we cleaned up the office, and by we, I mean Brenda worked her super agent magic.

This is before.

In our defense we had just finished the benefit concert and this was all the stuff we brought back and unloaded at midnight.

And this is after.

It was dark already when I took this photo. The last swallow of summer is winging his way over the horizon.

See, she has super powers.


As informative as the books are, they don’t tell the whole Secret Agent Josephine story. That’s coming in future books. But we decided to interview her to give you a sneak peek. What follows is a top secret transmission that we now have permission to make public.

[transmission begins]
Dear Secret Agent Josephine,

I was recruited on the playground. They noticed my stealthy mothering skills and the fact that I carry a battery-operated glue gun in my purse for fixing things like broken drinking fountains and little girl’s headbands.

Of course!

The ejector seat.

I’m always thinking like a spy but I take breaks from pulling off spy missions and such. I have to be a real mom when I’m home.

Your favorite food?

Spicy Thai Noodles

That’s classified.

Usually but sometimes the agency has me work with other partners.  It depends on the job.

Glad to help! [end transmission]

Did you know that there is an entire set of clues you can collect from the Secret Agent Josphine book tour. Each post, for each letter, has a secret clue in it. It’s not too late to play along. You can go to Brenda’s blog to find all the other posts wherein to search for clues.

You too, can be stealthy.

You can also win an alphabet print for yourself from the book

I have the letter L to give away.

If you would like to win this print just leave a comment below and I’ll choose winner by random number generator on Friday at midnight my time.

Seriously guys, these books are so cool, and Brenda is such a lovely person, I really hope you’ll put them on your shopping list this year. There aren’t many kids books available yet for e-readers, and these ones are really worth showing to your kids.
