my son loves these stories. he will bring a chair around and sit directly in front of the speakers to listen.

Nostalgic, but dated!!

Nostalgia from childhood, but a lot of this content shows its era. HIPA violations, fights and some other stuff that might take some explaining/discussion in a classroom. I haven't decided if my classes will be listening or not!

Best book in california.

This is a good book because it is very intriguing. I love the mysteries because they're not too hard and not too easy to solve. The main character is interesting because he is smart and has a good sense of humor.

I’m not going anywhere for the next week of w 3 but I’m going back to the beach 🏖

Great Jumpstart to Reading!

My son was having a hard time getting excited about reading chapter books. I got this audio book and had him read along in the printed copy. He read straight through and loved it! Encyclopedia Brown was always one of my favorites when I was young. It's great to see how timeless and inspiring these books are for young readers. Everyone loves a good mystery!
