Children's books sure have changed, thankfully. This is a great series for #intermediategrades

Saw the power of #kidlit in action today when a #CitySpies character got kiddo to try a new ice cream flavor (stracciatella; hazelnut was a bridge too far😁)!
Here’s hoping that @jamesponti.bsky.social talks about all of Rio’s favorite vegetable preparations in the next book!

After needing a boost to see the Piazza San Marco, kiddo (who is 135cm compared to my 180cm) had a burning question for @jamesponti.bsky.social that I said I would pass on: How tall is Kat?
Kiddo now aspires to see patterns in chaos like Kat💜 #CitySpies

Seeing Venice #CitySpies style. We retraced Cairo & Paris’ steps, looked at lots of beautiful masks, bought a small (carryon compatible) snowglobe, and enjoyed Kat’s view😊
Thanks to @jamesponti.bsky.social for books that give us an extra incentive to see some sights!
Traveling to Venice and Rome and excited to visit some of the locations
featured in the #CitySpies books w/ kiddo!
@jamesponti.bsky.social let us know if you have recommendations for spots not featured in the first six books fans should be sure to check out 😊
City Spies by James Ponti #JustFinished
Superb middle-grade romp that includes nearly everything the kid in me wants from a globetrotting adventure, plus lots of clever moments and endearing characters.
