Book Reviews of Encyclopedia Brown Shows the Way
Book Review: Good exercises in logic for the young mind
Summary: 4 Stars
Leroy "Encyclopedia" Brown is a hero for young people that is much more realistic than others such as "The Hardy Boys" or "Tom Swift Jr." All offer adventures for the young minds to experience, but Encyclopedia's adventures are more in keeping with the actual experiences of a young man.
Encyclopedia solves mysteries that take place in a young person's life, for example how did one kid manage to con another out of a possession. These things happen on a regular basis in the life of a child, they do not solve bank robberies or invent spacecraft.
This book contains ten short mysteries where the reader experiences the clues with Encyclopedia. Once all the information is presented, Encyclopedia announces that he knows the identity of the culprit(s) and the story ends with a question for the reader. The solution to the mystery appears in a section at the end of the book.
Logical reasoning skills are some of the most valuable in that you use them on a daily basis when making small and large decisions. The mysteries posed to Encyclopedia require some basic logic and knowledge background and in all cases enough clues are given to solve the puzzle. The level of those skills needed here are within the grasp of the late elementary school student, making this book an excellent exercise in sharpening the young mind.
Summary of Encyclopedia Brown Shows the Way
Leroy Brown is back in the next six books in the Encyclopedia Brown series. As Idaville?s ten-year-old star detective, Encyclopedia has an uncanny knack for trivia. With his unconventional knowledge, he solves mysteries for the neighborhood kids through his own detective agency. But his dad also happens to be the chief of the Idaville police department, and every night around the dinner table, Encyclopedia helps him solve some of the most baffling crimes. With ten confounding mysteries in each book, not only does Encyclopedia have a chance to solve them, but readers are given all the clues as well and can chime in with their own solutions. Interactive and fun?it?s classic Encyclopedia Brown!Family Life Books
