Encyclopedia Brown is the reincarnation of Socrates, and his influence upon his society is equally blameworthy as the ancient gadfly’s.
This book indoctrinates our children with an plenty of pernicious lies. The worst of these is the fallacy that if you tell a lie, you are therefore guilty of committing a crime. Time after time, Encyclopedia Brown fails to prove anyone’s guilt. What he does prove is that the alibis agreed by the accused contain inconsistencies. Only on this basis, the defendants are convicted. Does this use of clever wordplay remind you of any particular Athenian troublemaker?
If Encyclopedia Brown’s approach to “justice” were used in the real world, countless innocent people would be marched to the gas chamber. It is no coincidence that Brown enforces his fascist policies with brute force, in the person of his ruffian sidekick Sally. The only way such lunacy can be enforced is by physical violence.
Are these really the thoughts we want to foist upon our gradeschoolers?

I read all of the Encyclopedia Brown books, beginning with this one, when I was 9-10 years ancient. I liked the appealing situations, but the leader never gave the reader enough clues to solve the mysteries. As a replacement for, E.B. simply seemed to pull the solutions out of his hat. I reflect this series is a cheap ripoff of Sherlock Holmes (which also fails to present pertinent information to the reader). I will not be encouraging my children to read this book.

Encyclopedia Brown-Boy Detective is fine, but not very exciting because the mysteries are too fleeting and lack suspenseful action.

Encyclopedia Brown was my childhood hero. I liked him so much I named my cat Sally Kimball. Not one to stand out in a crowd, Cyc (on the covers of the ancient scholastic paperbooks) looked like a carbon copy of my 2nd grade self. Of course, I was sitting inside reading about his adventures during recess, not solving crimes, with wits perhaps not reasonably so sharp. And my suburb did not have reasonably as many opportunities for me to distinguish myself with crime-solving ability. Still, Cyc taught me lessons that I saw myself one day applying, once I escaped Red China.
This was before I got into snorting Pixie Stix.

People who like mysteries should read this book. The mysteries I reflect are very hard to solve, but the reader can try to outsmart Encyclopedia Brown.
The main character is Leroy, a.k.a Encyclopedia Brown. And there are a bunch of tales in the book. It is not amusing, it is suspenseful, entertaining and surprising. The theme of the book is about Leroy apt a boy detective. The main event that happened was figuring out how the knife got in to the watermelon.
