A handbook for fictitious Odd Squad agents written for fans of the TV show and readers of series like Dog Man.   Many young agents introduce themselves and each share some mildly vital information concerning the organization and its members.  It is noteworthy that all the agents appear to be preteens with names that begin with the letter O.  Young readers might well enjoy the classification of creatures in pictorial form and the presentation of equipment.   The author obviously had some fun creating this handbook while the illustrations are detailed.   It is unfortunately however that some of the pictures are rather dark making details unclear.   There is a lack of any storyline yet some humor is available within the pages.  Target audience is  age 6-9.

For fans of the show but not a necessary purchase for school or public libraries.
