Encyclopedia Brown is everybody's favorite cook, in this case the food he cooks is a mystery. There is a mystery at the end of each chapter. He knows lots of recipes. One of the mysteries is the cake. Read the book to find out who takes the cake.

I recommend this book to people who like to read cooking books as well as a mystery story. If you get hungry as you read a cooking book, I recommend that you should not read it. It has lots of good recipes.

I read this one in two days and I usually don't read that much

I used this when I was in 6th grade and my family hasn't forgotten the meal to this day. Somewhere along the line the book disappeared and I have been missing it since. You can't beat those Lemon Buttered Green Beans!!!

This book teaches improved reading comprehension, and the ability to answer exam questions based on that. Identification of the higher-order category to which a topic belongs is a critical metacognitive skill. The book teaches and exercises basic metacognition very well without ever naming it. Identification of the relevance of a topic is fuzzy business however. It requires and assumes that the student is actually motivated to build a knowledge schema, which alas, is not usually the case.Standard generic motives are assumed (e.g., people want food, comfort and happiness) to ground "relevance." After "Part I" the first 42 pages, the rest of the book is mind-numbing repetition. Evaluation is never addressed: it is assumed that the material presented should just be accepted as given. That may be okay for beginners.This would be an excellent exercise book for high school students or even bright junior-high students. For college level it would be remedial, in my opinion.

This book is short, but has high impact on the students. I used it in my college level Critical Thinking course. The greatest feature of the book is that it uses samples from actual text books across the university curriculum. The simple technique of identifying topic, class, relevance and description of a body of information provides an excellent framework for a beginning critical thinker. I used the text in a 12 day /complete semester course and had some excellent teaching-learning moments in the classroom working with the material.

An excellent buy.

Every anesthesiology resident should run, not walk, to purchase this book. It is concise, very readable, and can be used as the primary reference for the cardiac anesthesia rotations. To date I have yet to find a significant omission. Do your self a favor and buy this book!
