What do You think about Encyclopedia Brown Finds The Clues (1982)?
Love the books hate the formatting.First off I love the Encyclopedia Brown series. Read them constantly when I was a kid. What is great about the series is that you can get any book in the series and you don't loose out by not reading the ones before or after. Second of all you can use these to help your budding logic puzzler kids or as fun ways to teach them how to approach a problem logically.So why the two stars? Well the formatting sucks, it sucks worst than a Kirby Vacuum that has been souped up Tool Time Style. There is no hyperlink to the solutions page. There is no chapter listing for the solutions page either, so it makes it hard to navigate the book. The worst the way the formatting was done at times you are presented a page that has just a title, or a picture or even just a caption to a picture then you scroll to the next page of text. I have seen free kindle and home publishing kindle books better formatted than this book. Bought the next in the series and it only gets downhill from there. You would think that Penguin Publishing would know how to do this.

This is another fun edition of short mysteries in the Encyclopedia Brown series of books by Donald J. Sobol. We waited more than two years after reading books 1 and 2 in this series and now our girls are older, they are huge fans. We read all of the mysteries in one day and our girls were fascinated by the solutions. They aren't necessarily able to figure them out before reading the answers, but they are able to understand the solutions and they like the short mysteries. I loved these stories as a child and I'm so glad that I'm able to share them with our girls now. We enjoyed reading this book together and we will certainly read more of the books in this series soon!
