A Thinking Book

The book is very good. I loved it. It is a thinking book becasue it haves crimes in it and you would have to think of what happened in that chapter. Then in the back of the book you would read it and it will tell you the answer that if you are right or not. I would tell other people to read this book because it is so good. The kids will think more to the book and start reading more and will start enjoying books. What are some of your thoughts of the book?

A perfect children's book!

I remember reading all the available Encyclopedia Brown books back in grade school, and have already started collecting them for my children! I would recommend these books to all parents with grade-school level children. The mysteries in the book are relatively simple to figure out, but they do make the children think, and it can be fun watching your kids trying to solve the puzzles!
