review 1: Another great book of deductive reasoning for kids. I am using this in homeschool lessons on critical thinking. Encyclopedia Brown has a detective agency and for a quarter, any kid can get him to solve a crime, check out a story, or tell if a sale is really a good deal.Most of the mysteries can be solved by middle graders. I only found one that a child would have to have some special knowledge that wasn't typical for this age group.I enjoy using the books for deductive reasoning, but I wish there was another series for older kids. Critical thinking is an important skill and it is sometimes hard to find ways to teach it.
review 2: Oh man, you guys. I walked by this book in the New Section at the library and it caught my eye. I grabbed it and read the copyrig... moreht date - 2010! An Encyclopedia Brown book published just last year? Of course I had to read it. My 8-year old self would have never forgiven me otherwise.I re-read a few of these sometime last year as well as a new one I had never read that was published in 2007 or 2008. This one was just as formulaic but had slightly more plausible answers. It gave me a happy peaceful feeling though, I really did love these books as a kid.3 stars because I loved reading it, even though I am WAY too old for these. less
