5.0 out of 5 stars Great "Read With Your Kids" Books, January 12, 2011

I remember reading these when I was a kid and was glad to see Encyclopedia back with some new stories.

They are great because they make you CONCENTRATE on the stories to find the clues to solve the mysteries. My son and I take turns, each reading a page aloud, until we get to the end of the story then we discuss what we think happened and why. Sometimes we are right and sometimes we are wrong. It's alot of fun and it helps him learn to "find the details" in the stories.

If you have a grade/middle school child, I'd highly recommend any of these books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful children's book series...., February 20, 2009

Our 7 yr old son loves this book series; we have bought MANY of them. This is each nights reading when we go to bed; we have to read at least 2 cases each evening, and figure out the clues. These books are fun reading, and actually challenge your kids to remember, comprehend and apply what they have read to figure out the answer to each case (and the solve for each case is found in the rear section of the book). Most boys would really enjoy these; I figure the girls would too, we just don't have any at our house to take a vote on that!!!

I loved these books as a child. My child loves these books now (age 7). I get her one and she's read the whole thing in 1-2 days.
