Give this to the nearest 6-10 year-old (or adult who wants to be 6-10 years old again). This kid here is way too hip to be the Leroy "Encyclopedia" Brown I grew up with! But like so many kids' books that have been continually reprinted through the ages, to older covers were a lot better than what I'm seeing up there. The books were still pretty fun, though, even if my all-too-honest mom made it clear I was never going to get to actually live them out in real life. When your mom laughs at you, you know right then and there it ain't gonna work. I went so far as to paint my own detective agency sign and everything.

Yeah, you're gonna wish life imitated art in that case. I could say that I loved the Encyclopedia Brown series as a kid, but that wouldn't be entirely accurate.
