The I Spy series offers the most basic of introductions to spy craft, sometimes in language so simple that it confuses more than it clarifies. Each book begins with an unnamed spy doing something dangerous mping out of a plane, doing a dead drop in a train station, sending a flashing code on a dark night. A few lines on each spread are then given to particular hallmarks of the spying in each country, along with profiles of famous spies. KGB introduces old spying methods of the KGB (today's SVR) and offers a few examples of spy weapons. These short, flawed books are best used to pique children's interest in an ever-fascinating topic, particularly the concluding activity and link to the International Spy Museum: KidSpy Zone.
