To jest po prostu uczucie nie do opisania kiedy 30-stronicowa książeczka dla dzieci z obrazkami totalnie mnie zaskoczyła plot twistem.

“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.

[Amy Phelps]

Something that eats more than shaggy & scooby?

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.

Is there a monster eating all of the donuts? Of course not - leave it to Scooby-Doo and the gang to solve the mystery and save the day.

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.

We all love Scooby-Doo, so these books are a particular favorite at storytime. We enjoyed reading this story together and have read it a few times.

March 2022 update: I purchased a 12-book set (the Scooby-Doo! Read & Solve series) and read each one again.

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.

[Shelli]

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.

I liked it because it has scooby-doo in it.

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.
