Review # 1 was written on 2020-04-13 00:00:00 Travis Johnson Neo and I cannot stop reading these sets of Encyclopedia Brown mysteries. We tackled this collection, filled with some wonderful stories we can process in a few minutes, connecting with one another as we guess the all but obvious solutions. The kid detective still works his magic in Idaville, USA, keeping the town crime-free and collecting his fee from those who can pay. Encyclopedia battles the pre-teen bully (Bugs Meany), solves the case of a mosquito swatter, and assists with a hit and run accident. These wonderful five-minute mysteries seek to entertain and exercise the brain of both child and adult, but require some keen sleuthing. 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. Did you know Neo's has his own GR account for reviews? Check him out:

There's nothing like listening to the stories and making an effort to uncover the clues that will help solve the cases. Always perfect stories for parent-child reading, but would also be great for a good reader when they have time or are on a road trip. Some of the talk is a little old-fashioned and terms could be a problem if you used them outside the house, or inside too.
