 Can't go wrong with Encyclopedia Brown .... August 31, 2008
M. Pollard (USA)
19 out of 20 found this review helpful
I remember enjoying these books as a boy and love sharing them with my son. Besides being enjoyable stories with admirable characters they are great for teaching reading. Solving the puzzles requires reading with attention to the details, logic and imagination. Sometimes young readers would rather skip difficult to read details but with these books they know they need to get each word.

I have decided to be the book grandma, and this is the perfect starter for my 7 1/2 year old grandson. I am striving to get him as excited about reading as I did his mother 30 years ago.
Great book for boys August 17, 2008

This is a wonderful book for boys who like adventure. My son is dyslexic and doesn't like to read but is required to read 3 over the summer. It's hard to get him interested in any book, but he liked these, and they are a fairly easy read but still sophisticated enough to keep a 10 year old interested.
Read and Think Critically. Your kids will start busting assumptions December 16, 2008

Want to get your kids thinking critically about information they receive. Encyclopedia Brown, buy detective, will do. Every case is solvable. Readers get better and better at picking out information that is an outlier and using it to solve the case. This kind if creative thinking is how we should all read everything. By asking where is the hole in the argument, we become better thinkers.
