Review by School Library Journal Review
Gr 3-6-Leroy "Encyclopedia" Brown, the fifth-grade sleuth, is busy investigating ten cases, including an underhanded scheme to fool neighborhood kids, a kidnapped skier, and various mysteries involving Encyclopedia's nemesis, Bugs Meany, in this volume (Thomas Nelson, 1971) in the series by Donald Sobol. After listening to each case, youngsters can pause the CD and try to figure out the solution to the mystery by themselves or can continue listening to discover the resolution. Featuring narration by Greg Steinbruner, this audiobook can be used in the classroom as part of a listening center, as an introduction to the mystery genre, and with reluctant readers.-Mercedes Smith, Kernan Trail Elementary School, Jacksonville, FL (c) Copyright 2010.
