Review: I was a huge fan of Encyclopedia Brown when I was a kid, and it's a joy to discover that my kids are as hooked on solving the mysteries as I was. Some of the mysteries are a bit dated (starting with, "What's an encyclopedia?"!), but in general the puzzles continue to intrigue as Encyclopedia saves the day again and again. Highly recommended! I've got two sons, aged 6 and 9, and we read two Encyclopedia Brown mysteries and one chapter from a Great Brain book at bedtime - with discussion of what comes up, this takes an hour, way longer than any other bedtime reading regime we've ever had, but they love the stories and I love the stories and we all love the time together, so it's all good!

Review: I really love the Encyclopedia Brown Books. I really enjoy seeing them on the Kindle and they are fun little puzzler stories to read to my kids and see if they can solve them. Can't say enough how enjoyable the logic that some of the thinking that goes on with these stories is great teaching tool for my kids as well. So why the two star listing? Well the formatting sucks and sucks harder than a brand new Hoover vacuum on a shag carpet. There is no link between the solution and the story nor the next story in the series. So you have either have to create a link to the solutions individually for each of the or create a link to the solutions chapter and then flip back to the stories. This is an issue that nearly all of the Penguin Ebook editions published today have had. It is annoying and aggravating since this should have been something easily created when the book was originally ported over to an ebook standard. I mean I have seen self-published books in similar genres that have hot links going back and forth between solutions or maps or appendices over to the main text. So that is why the two star listing.
