A charismatic young boy turns an everyday outing into a thrilling, top-secret adventure in this energetic, offbeat picture book. Secret Agent Man (S.A.M.) needs new shoes. His mom -- er, sidekick, "K" (short for Kay) -- takes him shopping. But the operation will be dangerous: to start with, Shoe Store Man looks shifty. "Frisk him," says S.A.M. With the help of a Team of Expert Spies and keen observation skills, will Sam find that his brand-new tiger-striped shoes convey a new superpower . . . and that he can now tie his own shoelaces? Imaginative play is the mission in this witty picture book with retro illustrations
