“Scooby-Doo” by Gail Herman #2 – Disappearing Donuts Fun story by Gail Herman accompanied by colourful illustrations. Suitable for very young audiences as it's not too scary but enough mystery to be engaging.
This was the kind of silliness that is expected from a Scooby Doo story. It did seem to resolve a little too quickly, but then there are only 32 pages.
When the gang find out their favorite donut place, "Doodles Donuts", is going out of business because of donut theft they decide to try to get to the bottom of the mystery. The owner, Dora, promises them all the donuts they can eat if they solve the mystery.
My kids liked this of course because of Scooby and the gang. I used this as a quick read aloud before bedtime and its part of a 10 pack of Readers that I bought from Scholastic.
The main reason I like this book is because it shows how the characters are using their problem solving skills to solve a mystery. When working with younger children, books like this can be helpful when guiding them to find solutes on their own.
Scooby Doo and the gang have another mystery to solve. Who is making the donuts disappear? If they don't solve this case the donut shop will have to go out of business, and then were will Scooby and Shaggy get their donut fix?
Good books for reluctant readers or reluctant chapter book readers.
We are trying to bring bedtime stories back. Tonight's choices--2 leveled readers from our recent scholastic classroom order. Classic scoob!! Both boys enjoyed.
