Book Reviews of Encyclopedia Brown Box Set (4 Books)
Book Review: Raising another generation of mystery-loving bookworms
Summary: 5 Stars
My daughter (almost 8) loves these. They are fun to read and solve and also good for developing logical thinking skills. It really impresses her when I solve a case that she can't! They are old-fashioned, which I mean in a positive sense here, but it seems lots of kids - or their parents - aren't interested in reading "old" stuff. I say, bring on the bullies and the civil war swords. I want my kid to know there was life before playstation.
(That said, I'd love to see a similar modern series. Any recommendations?)
Each book has 10 mysteries, which makes them great for stopping and starting. Or would, if my kid could stop reading them! I am rationing them out, one book each Saturday. Just gave her book three, and she read one of them to me at bedtime last night because even after reading the solution, she didn't understand it. (In the case where Bugs Meany was kidnapped, pay attention to the hinges!)
I'd love it if the others in the series came in boxed sets. We have to pay per item for overseas shipping, and I'd obviously rather pay once than 4 times.
A great intro to detective work!
