Encyclopedia Brown Shows the Way by Donald J. Sobol
4.0
Neo and I finished another set of Encyclopedia Brown mysteries, proving that this series is one worth our time. The kid detective is still in Idaville, USA, keeping the town crime-free. Encyclopedia crosses paths with Bugs Meany, debunks the tales of a bragging traveller, and even encounters a ghost-like apparition. These wonderful five-minute mysteries entertain and exercise the brain of child and adult alike. Neo and I have used them as a before bedtime activity and we are getting much better at piecing the clues together in a timely manner. Young sleuths in the making may want to sharpen their skills with the massive collection of stories.
Neo really likes the stories that keep him thinking. I remember having these stories read to me when I was young as well, helping me want to pass along the tradition. Neo thoroughly enjoys listening to the stories and making an effort to uncover the clues that will help solve the cases. He mentioned that these are perfect stories for parent-child reading, but would be great for a good reader when they have time or are on a road trip. A note to parents: the stories are dated (1960s and 70s) and some of the terminology or word choices might not be as correct as you would like your young reader to use on a daily basis.
