Review > Encyclopedia Brown and the Case of the Midnight Visitor
Encyclopedia Brown and the Case of the Midnight Visitor by Donald J. Sobol My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Sobol, Donald J. 1977. Encyclopedia Brown and the Case of the Midnight Visitor. New York: Scholastic Inc.
Ten-year-old self-proclaimed detective Leroy Brown aka “Encyclopedia,” is the best-kept secret behind Idaville’s pristine police record. Encyclopedia’s love of reading and knack for information details aid him as he helps the Idaville chief of police, aka his dad, solve the neighborhood’s mysteries including a case surrounding a kidnapped millionaire!
This book is great for beginning readers. The book is shorter, and the vocabulary is both simple and challenging enough for young readers. The book allows beginning readers the opportunity for independent reading but is also conducive to a shared reading experience with adults or other children. One aspect that I think is perfect for beginning readers is that the book consists of 10 short mysteries that children can try and solve on their own. The illustrations and text both give clues to answer each mystery and allow the beginning reader to gain confidence and improve their reading comprehension skill set in a fun way.

Willems, Mo. There Is a Bird on Your Head! Book Review.
Click here to buy There Is a Bird on Your Head It is very difficult to find an early reading book that can hold a child’s interest. Mo Willems rivals Dr. Suess in a charming sense of fun. His book does not rhyme, but instead has a single sentence, sometimes a single word, on each page. The vocabulary could be handled by children in early first grade. It is a large book, at 57 pages, but a quick…
