Chris Parrish's Junior Agents is about two brothers who embark on an exciting mission at home with their fluffy toys and their vivid imaginations. Knox, a fun-loving six-year-old, joins his inquisitive and imaginative ten-year-old brother, Finn, in an exciting adventure to be secret service agents who must protect their stuffed animals from "all sorts of silly crimes." With Finn as Agent Monkey and Knox taking the name of Agent Rhino, they set out to discover what made Knox’s cherished teddy bear, Herbert Teddy, go missing. The Junior Agents, as the brothers call themselves, begin questioning their stuffed animals and looking for clues to find the culprit behind Herbert Teddy's disappearance. Will the adventurous brothers find their beloved stuffed animal? 

Finn and Knox collaborate smartly to create some interesting characters with distinctive traits. I had fun reading about all the toys, including Simba, who is a "known mischief-maker and lover of all things chewable." Also, the playful tone creates a relaxing atmosphere that children will find appealing. Apart from the funny act of seriously questioning stuffed animals and the cute and colorful illustrations that radiate happiness, the brothers are seen laughing and having a good time. Chris Parrish shares profound messages about teamwork, imagination, and more, helping young readers find useful lessons in this very entertaining book. Junior Agents is not just an amazing opportunity to sow the seed of enjoying detective fiction and work early in children. It also acts as a catalyst for stretching their imaginations and collaborating with others to solve problems.
