About this title

From School Library Journal:

Grade 3-6 Another spin-off from the popular series about Idaville's well known ten-year-old detective (Encyclopedia Brown's Book of Wacky Crimes Lodestar, 1982, . . .Wacky Sports Morrow, 1983 , . . .Wacky Spies Morrow, 1984 , . . .Wacky Animals Morrow, 1985 ) , this book contains over 100 anecdotes and bits of trivia from the automotive world. Camouflaged cars that change color, a backwards cross-country car trip, animal taxis, a car bought for 999 bananas, a breath-test machine that became drunk, and an 11-year-old car dealer are a few of the bizarre tales related. Also included is an Encyclopedia Brown trademark: a new, solve-it-yourself mystery. The book is sure to appeal to both the numerous fans of Encyclopedia Brown and those who enjoy the equally popular trivia books. Also, the brevity of each anecdote of tale coupled with the high interest of the subject matter should give the book appeal to slow readers.Connie Tyrrell Burns, Mahoney Middle School, South Portland, Maine
