This is for children who love Scooby-Doo. If they aren't familiar with Scooby (yeah, right :) ), some of the vocabulary will be difficult. The Mystery Machine runs out of gas at night. The gang walks to find a phone. They come to a castle occupied by a witch, knights, and a vampire. Surprise! It's a party.

Pretty cute story about entering what is thought to be a haunted house but ends up being a big Halloween party. Appropriate for young kids who frighten easily.

My kids and I love Scooby Doo so its' the reason I bought the 10 pack of these books from Scholastic. They're easy readers for my advanced reader kids, but amusing enough for a quick read through at bedtime.

In this book the Mystery Machine breaks down near a spooky castle that seems to have all kinds of weird things happening at it. Spooky knights guarding the doors, a witch in the kitchen, a vampire chasing them. Will they find out what's actually going on? Of course they will..... Shaggy and Scooby always do!

This is a fun book in the Scooby-Doo! Readers series. It's short, with lots of colorful illustrations and the mystery is not very scary. I love the collection of monsters and we enjoyed pointing out some from previous mysteries. We all love Scooby Doo, so these books are a particular favorite at storytime. We enjoyed reading this story together.
