- Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2011I remember reading these when I was a kid and was glad to see Encyclopedia back with some new stories.
They are great because they make you(and your child) CONCENTRATE on the stories to find the clues to solve the mysteries. My son and I take turns, each reading a page aloud, until we get to the end of the story then we discuss what we think happened and why. Sometimes we are right and sometimes we are wrong. It's alot of fun and it helps him learn to "find the details" in the stories.
If you have a grade/middle school child, I'd highly recommend any of these books.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2020Nice paperback. Has a lot of cooking recipes wich I wasn't expecting. But other than that not bad
- Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2021I read this book years ago and I was happy to find this again.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2016Gift. Love this series!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2015Great solve it stories
- Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2012I've never heard of Encyclopedia Brown, and this is the first Encyclopedia Brown book I have ever read, but it won't be my last. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this book, and can't wait to get my hands on the other books in the series.
This is a pre-teen book, but I don't care. It is too fun to pass up. This book is a bunch of mini mysteries solved by Encyclopedia Brown and his friend. Each chapter is either a mini mystery that they solve, or else it is a party/fiesta/meal with lots of recipes.
(This is the first book of this series that I have read, but I don't think the other books have the recipes - I think that is exclusive to this book.)
This book was so fun. Mysteries and food!
I love the main character, Enclycopedia Brown and his friend detective. This book was more fun that I can ever say.
I even got a recipe for Duck Sauce, and I can't wait to try it!
***UPDATE ON JUNE 26, 2012*** I made the Duck Sauce! It is awesome! I put it over some stir-fry and rice. I can't wait to get the ingredients and make eggrolls for it. I have made homemade eggrolls before, but I didn't have the luxury of this Duck Sauce to go with it. I can't wait until next time I make it, and I will have both! A feast!!!
The store I went to didn't have plum jam, and I didn't feel like going anywhere else looking for it. (I stopped on my way home from work, and I wanted to get on home). Therefore, I used blackberry fruit spread instead, and it turned out awesome. Hopefully next time I will actually have the plum jam, but even with the blackberry it turned out really, really, good, and I really would have never noticed the difference anyway.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2013Good and easy recipes that the kids are able to follow. Recipes are actually delicious as well. Very, very easy!

1.0 out of 5 stars なんか違った・・・
Encyclopedia Brownシリーズを読んでいたので買いましたが、他のとは違います。まだ英語初級者で勉強中の私はびっくりしてしまいました。決して急に難しい内容というわけでは無いですが、シリーズの他の本とは内容がちょっと違うのでご注意を!
