Encyclopedia Brown is great reading for kids, good practice in reading carefully.

In a fit of nostalgia, I came back to Encyclopedia Brown after almost 3 decades, and was surprised to discover that, while the level of reading is much more elementary than I remember, the solutions to the "puzzles" are, in many cases, far more recondite than I thought they were.

For example, in the present volume, I imagine both adults and children will get about half of the solutions without having to flip to the back of the book. The solutions for a couple of them ("The Case of the Carousel Horse" springs to mind") are so abstruse that you'll want to angrily fling the book across the room.

Too bad there doesn't appear to be any omnibus volume anthologizing a great number of these: apparently you have to buy all these slim volumes separately.

What did you get when you add weird mystery, a genius boy who's 10-yet. A girl who can punch any one's lights out. A gang called the Tiger, and more off-beat characters then you can shake a stick off. Fun, that's what you get!

The book I am going to talk to you about is "Encyclopedia Brown, the case of Pablo's Nose."
This great book is about this boy called Encyclopedia Brown. His real name is Leroy. They call him Encyclopedia because it is like he had a Encyclopedia din his head. Encyclopedia is a ten year old boy that goes to school like any other boy. His parents want to tell the whole world about their brillant son, but who will believe that the secret behind Idaville's war on crime is in the fifth grade? This book is about this boy that solvesmisterys or you can solve it.He always has one question to ask. The Police Cheif comes to him when he needs help on a mistery.So, you have to read carefully for you to solve the mistery and be the hero. I love this book because I think it gives you a little spice.
