Encyclopedia Brown Cracks The Case by Donald J. Sobol


If you could ask the author/illustrator of this book one question, what would it be?

I know, I know... Encyclopedia Brown is for younger kids... Well, it was the only book that I had, so I picked it up and quickly got absorbed into the life of a 5th-grade kid who solves crimes.
My favorite of the crimes was the chocolate chip cookie one; the judge if biased and replace cinnamon with paprika and sugar with salt on Joe's chocolate chip cookies so that her baker cousin can win.
If I could ask the author/ illustrator one question, it would be: how hard is it to come up with solutions to the cases? Is it fun to think up?
