A little kid believes their dad is a secret spy based on mundane observations in this funny picture book about the mysteries of where grown-ups go and what they do when they aren't being parents.

Note: I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley. I was not compensated in any other fashion for the review and the opinions reflected below are entirely my own. Special thanks to the publisher and author for providing the copy.

From the point of view of a kid, who tried to make sense of her dad, and has a wild imagination, came the reasoning of her dad is a Russian spy. She tried to explain why she concluded that, in a way of a little girl who adores her dad. Having something different as dad's job is also something you can show off to your friend.

I am very grateful reading this book, that brings back the memory of a girl who simply in awe of her father.

My Dad Is a Russian Spy, by Candy Berg is a funny, engaging read. It is a very realistic depiction of how kids with rich imaginations come to conclusions. Perfect for teaching about inferencing and assumptions.

Super cute story! My son is obsessed with spy stuff so when I saw this book I knew we needed to read this. A very fast, very funny read. We read this before bed and he wants to read it again tomorrow. The illustrations are super cute too.

I am unable to properly review this book because the digital copy I recieved did not download well. I was able to view the illustrations but not able to read the story. It looks like a fun book based on the pictures and premise.

I couldn't read the text or the contents of this storybook.

Kindly fix this.

I would love to read and review the book soon.

Colorful watercolor illustrations help tell the story of a little girl who is watching her dad. And she is sure it means he is a Russian spy.

It's a whimsical "mystery" with a sweet but untrained detective, and iffy evidence. She admires the variety of mysterious things her dad can do. Because he is obviously the best dad (and she is lucky to have him), he must be very important. And that can only mean one thing. He is a spy, pretending to be normal.

This is a fun book! Parents and kids are so busy, it's nice to see this little girl turn her attention to the good things her dad does--even if she comes to the wrong conclusions--which she can ask him about. The attention should go both ways! This would be a fun gift for anyone--with a note about a father (or father figure) special enough to be like this one.

There's just one small strange thing. Looking through the entire book, we never see the faces of the girl's parents... Nah! I'm sure it was just coincidence!

5/5 Stars

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the chance to preview this great ebook!

This is a cute and witty little children's book! We enjoyed the story and the illustrations a lot! Fun read!

I received an copy of, My Dad Is a Russian Spy, by Candy Berg. This is a delightful book, her dad has to be a Russian spy, what other explanation is there?

A little girl's imagination carries her through everyday "clues", leading her to believe that her father is a Russian spy. She hides in different spots observing things like a briefcase combination lock, her dad on the phone or fixing the car, and time spent at the beach. It's a witty play on coming of age and how kids might discover who their parents are outside of the parenting role. And with such a charming heroine, readers could easily believe that the best candidate for Russian spy is the girl herself. A super cute, fun choice for story time

Well, this publisher did this book a little bit of a disservice with talk of us practising spy-craft and following clues, when none are really available. But take that away and it's still quite good fun to see a girl peeping round corners at all hours, watching over her father who she's determined for herself is a spy. His adult office jargon she thinks is a foreign language, and she's sure that having a combination lock on a briefcase is a mark of high-end espionage. Decent artworks show the girl and the dad in their world, without showing her imagination to be at fault. It's definitely a pleasant and amusing read – just don't get any allusions about joining in yourself as I did.
