I am a sucker for the Great Brain series. I relish the day my son (and daughters) are old enough to read them with me. God I loved the hell out of these books. Still do. I felt like they explained how the world really worked and if you were clever, you could sometimes outwit it. But only sometimes, and often not in the way you planned to…
If it helps, this box set I had as a young reader is $782 on Amazon, 
The Mercer Mayer art, still wonderful after all these years.
