Encyclopedia Brown, Boy Detective by Donald J. Sobol
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is a classic…to me anyway. Growing up I rarely read. My parents didn’t force me to. I remember reading this one, though.
My local used bookstore had this book and I bought it to read out loud to my kids, our nightly habit. Reading it brings back some memories. My kids are enjoying it.
Encyclopedia Brown stories are fairly short and they are mysteries. Readers try to solve them based on the clues planted in the stories.
The answers to the mysteries are in the back of the book and we find ourselves flipping back and forth to be certain the clues are there or to find the clues that we missed.
I’d say it’s a good story to help children notice details…probably adults, too!
