That reference to Encyclopedia Brown* made me remember that before I started actually reading I used to often sit and pore over an enclypedia we had and put in small bits of paper as bookmarks. I think my parents still have it, including bookmarks. I think they thought it was cute. They didn't teach me to read before I started school at 7 though.
*had to look up Encyclopedia Brown - but I have a vague notion that I may have encountered the books as a child - but probably a different name. Edit: reading the Wikpedia entry I'm not sure though.
