About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts noticing small details or shows a budding interest in logic puzzles and problem-solving. It is an ideal choice for a child who feels a bit overlooked or wants to prove their intellectual capabilities through observation rather than physical prowess. The stories follow Leroy Encyclopedia Brown, a ten-year-old who helps his father, the local police chief, solve neighborhood crimes using his vast knowledge and keen eye. Through ten short cases, the book reinforces values of justice, integrity, and the satisfaction of a job well done. It is perfectly suited for independent readers aged 7 to 12 who enjoy a challenge. Parents will appreciate how it encourages critical thinking and active participation, as the solutions are tucked in the back, inviting the reader to solve the mystery before Encyclopedia does.
