Encyclopedia Brown and the Case of the Secret Pitch #2 by Donald Sobol illustrated by Leonard Shortall*

Solving cases with Encyclopedia has become one of our nightly rituals before bed!
My youngest (even though he doesn't come close to solving them-he tries so hard!!) wants me to read all 25 books in this series!
In this volume he travels to Texas with his parents and solves cases while on a tour (Only 2 cases take place in Texas; the rest are in Idaville.).
