Encyclopedia Brown and the Case of the Slippery Salamander

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Warren Chang. The boy detective solves ten cases, including identifying a fake umpire, recovering stolen jewelry, and clearing himself in the murder of a racing cockroach. Solutions to the mysteries are found at the back of the book and range from obscure to clever to apparent, giving every reader a chance to solve some. The young sleuth's clever repartee enlivens the text, which is illustrated with pencil drawings.
