Encyclopedia Brown, Boy Detective by Donald J. Sobol

The book I reviewed was copyrighted 1963, but had a modern cover to entice today’s readers. hmmm.Encyclopedia Brown: Boy Detective is the story of a 10 year old boy detective who outsmarts his father, Police Chief Brown by solving mysteries before he does. These 'mysteries' seemed do much harder to solve when I was 7. ' Seemed like what I ought to read at the time. I've only read this first one, so I have no idea if the series derails down the line. ' Teaches observation and elementary logic to younger children - I'm guessing this series is for 8-12 yr olds. I read all the Encyclopedia Brown books available at the public library when I was a child. ' I liked that 'Encyclopedia' Brown was intelligent and could immediately identify the aspect of the crime or mystery that gave away the solution. I don't think I'll ever grow too old for some kids' stories. ' Spencer and Genevieve love listening to these stories, and I still enjoy trying to figure out the clues with them before the solution. ' a very good book to read if you favor reading a mystery every now and then. I'd forgotten all about them until I saw him being made fun of on Robot Chicken a couple minutes ago. I'll have to go back and read some again. ' Loved, loved, loved Encyclopedia Brown. ' i liked the mysteries same with all the other books ' - Sonorousduck, I didn't even know they were written decades before I was born. ' I ate up this series of juvenile fiction mysteries as a kid. ' These were some of my favorite books growing up. ' I adored Encyclopedia Brown when I was Sawyer's age. ' This was the first chapter book I was given by my mother. ' Great for kids, especially those who like to solve things themselves. We'd read them and try to figure out the case. a great mystery series for young readers. ' This book represents the entire series. ' Don't mess with the best detectives!:) ' - Michele, ' My favorite case was the civil war sord.u ' - Gideon, The stories are fun and intriguing, and that Encylcopedia Brown boy is just so smart! They are hard to figure out, but you will love trying! The plots are very well-thought out and I have always enjoyed reading them! ' - Sabrina, These are good for 3rd or 4th graders, especially those who love mysteries. ' Any Encyclopedia Brown book is awesome.

' Call me a nerd, I don't care, Encyclopedia Brown rules! ' - Leslie, Mine had something to do with a stolen cat. ' I remember reading this book in third grade, because we read it in our gifted class, and then we had to write our own 'Encyclopedia Brown' mystery story. ' it doesn't get better than this ' - Kirubel, Overall Performance: Narration Rating: Story Rating:.
