5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, Readable, Inspiring
The Encyclopedia Brown series is an excellent way to encourage youngsters to read critically, think, and have fun doing it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, Readable, Inspiring, June 8, 2008
The Encyclopedia Brown series is an excellent way to encourage youngsters to read critically, think, and have fun doing it. In this example, as in others, Leroy (Encyclopedia) Brown and his friend Sally run a youthful detective agency in Idaville, matching withs with Bugs Meany, the Lions, and other juvenile wrong-doers. The cases involve theft of fruit wagons, and other minor (and sometimes un-minor) crimes. Each mystery is concise and easiy read, but some are easier than others to solve. I read this book as a kid and often failed to find the answers; as an adult most are solveable, but once or twice I had to peak at the solutions in the back pages. This is excellent reading for youngsters and young mystery fans.

I couldn't be happier about the effect this series has had on my daughter. She is so excited about reading each new one that arrives in the mail. This increased interest in reading has now spilled over to lots of of books.

By A Customer
This review is from: Encyclopedia Brown Solves Them All (Paperback)
The reason why I think it needs five stars is because its a good book for kids to read.The book is about a boy by the name of Encyclopedia Brown who can slove anyones case.Also most of the time Bugs Meany gets in trouble. Christina

5.0 out of 5 stars Good stories that develop good skills., September 20, 2011

I remember reading these books twenty years ago and trying to figure out the clues in each story. Our son loves that he gets to look for clues and then see if he was right. I love a book that entertains and develops critical thinking skills! Encyclopedia Brown will be on Christmas and birthday lists for years to come in our house.

I loved 2 Minute Mysteries when I was a child and now my daughter loves the same type of mysteries in Encyclopedia Brown and the 5 Minute Mysteries. They are fun in the car.

3.0 out of 5 stars Encyclopedia Brown Solves Them All solves all sorts of cases, May 17, 1999
By A Customer
Encyclopedia Brown Solves Thems All is a great book I realy injoyed it. Encyclopedia Brown solves them all is about a boy named Leroy Brown but everyone calls him Encyclopedia becaus hes read a hole set of Encyclopedias.Him and his friend Sally run a detective agency in Idaville.Nothing realy happens in Idaville but when somthing dose Encyclopedia and Sally are there to solve the case.Somtimes you think Encyclopedia and Sally just might not solve the case,but somtimes you never know.My favrite one of Ecyclopedia and Sallys cases is The Case of The Missing Clues.A boy named Abner Nelson comes into the detective agency with a wagon full of fruit he clamed a boy named Bugs stole tree dolers worth of fruit .So Encyclopedia and Abner go looking for Bugs to see if he stole the fruit . Can Encyclopedia find out. Encyclopedia Brown Solves Them All is a good book for people of all ages.After you've read all of Encyclopedia and sallys mystery cases I think you'll love the book just as much as I did.

After I told my 9 year old son I would buy this for him, he wasn't interested. But once it arrived and I read the first story with him, he was hooked.
