This was the last book I had out of the Great Brain series as a kid. The odd thing is that I remember one of the stories (one of my favourite stories out of the series) ending very differently. It's the one about Frankie's rocking horse.
SpoilerIn the book I just read, Tom asks for and gets his dollar reward for finding the stolen rocking horse, while for years I have remembered this as ending with Tom being shamed by Frankie's generosity into refusing the reward. Unfortunately I don't have my childhood books anymore - though I doubt there would have been this much difference in the editions. I guess I must've just remembered it wrong.
Most of the rest of the stories are all right, with the Indian reservation story being another stand-out.
