Reviews
The great brain series, book 1 by John D. Fitzgerald
Review from my 11 year old: “I liked it and I noticed the Great Brain was interested in making money and coukd usually align it with what people wanted, and he usually got away with it. He is nice..when he wants to be. He did have personal growth at the end. The kindest thing he did was help Peg Leg Andy with a barn. Andy stepped on a rusty nail and lost his left leg which was replaced with a peg. Tom teaches his how to do a lot of things. And there are puppies”.

Loved this series when I was a kid. Now I’m a mature adult and I still think The Great Brain is great fun. It’s always a treat to see a Mercer Mayer illustration.
This story really holds up now that I read it again as a mature adult.
The Mercer Mayer illustrations still bring me joy.
