The Missing Tooth Mystery

Scooby-Doo! Picture Clue Books #11

by Maria S. Barbo, Duendes del Sur (Illustrator)

SCOOBY-DOO is an 'Ameri-canine' icon, the most beloved cartoon pooch of the past three generations. The snack-sniffling sleuth and his pals are in the midst of a huge popularity upswing

The Picture Clue books are based on the traditional "rebus Reader" - using a picture as a tool for learning a word. On the sample spread, you can see where a picture is substituted for a word. This gives a young reader a sense of pride that she is "reading" the story. All pictures and vocabulary are on flashcards at the end of the book.

Did a monster ((robot)) take the missing ((tooth))? ((Scooby)) and ((Shaggy)) will solve this mystery!

Reviews

Scooby and Shaggy terrorise a kid’s backyard, eat all of his food, and then attack Velma. Good story, good morals.

Also I like how the cover makes it seem like Scooby and Shaggy are scared of a child, because really, the real monsters of this world are children.

We didn't like this one, either . . . the dang tooth is in plain sight the entire time, and no one noticed? Really? And instead of investigating the sound they hear, which is a tiny toy robot following them, they keep running from it? REALLY?

[Brian]

This was horrible. But my kid lost his first tooth!

We may own most every Scooby Doo book in existence. My four year old really loves cutting the flash cards out of the Picture Clue books. Excellent for me, trying to teach her to read new words. Such a favorite series in our family. Be sure to watch the series and work on your character voices for entertaining read alouds.

This Scooby Doo reader has the images of items within the story for younger readers to be able to help them read the sentences and story. (Makes it hard for someone to read it out loud like I did to my young granddaughter but we managed.) This isn't a scary Scooby Doo so the younger kids won't be scared of the story and would be a good 'introduction' to Scooby and the gang
