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. |

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.
