Book Reviews of Encyclopedia Brown Box Set (4 Books)
Book Review: Perfect inspiration for young readers with inquisitive minds...
Summary: 5 Stars
Mrs. Parker, my fourth grade teacher, read to us every day. I'll never forget the few times she would read mysteries from the Encyclopedia Brown series. As children, we would sit back and imagine the story unfold in our minds. Everyone would do their best to solve the crimes and mysteries but none of us were a match for Encyclopedia Brown. These books will challenge young readers. They are ideal for the 9-12 age group to read, but do well when read to younger groups of children.
When my son's school took a break for the summer season, his teacher recommended that we read and have him read a few times each week. I am now reading from the box set and I must say, he thoroughly enjoys the stories. They are a wonderful inspiration for young people and provide a great bonding activity for the parents.

Book Review: Thrilled to be sharing these books for the third time
Summary: 5 Stars
Loved Encyclopedia Brown when I was growing up. Then when my son was of the proper age, we read them together. Now I am getting a third opportunity to share them with a sweet little girl that I am guardian of who loves to read. I just ordered a the new box set just for her and cannot wait for them to come in and for us to get started reading. Encyclopedia Brown is far superior to any of the other kid detective books out on the market today.
No matter what anyone says, these are not just books for boys. The girls love them to!

Want to get your kids thinking critically about information they receive. Encyclopedia Brown, buy detective, will do. Every case is solvable.

Book Review: A classic for boys starting chapter books
Summary: 4 Stars
I enjoyed reading these books as a boy and my son's like them as well. They are a bit dated, but the kids don't seem to notice it. "Put a quarter down on the gas can." Kids today are a bit brighter and more worldly than we were back in the day. My 9 year old son had legal questions with jumping to conclusions, probable cause and illegally obtaining evidence done by Enclyopedia Brown, but for an easy read, starter, chapter, kids mystery these are good.Book Review: Can't go wrong with Encyclopedia Brown ....
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
