[Dolly · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a fairly typical Scooby-Doo story, taking the gang to the North Pole to help Santa find his bag of presents. The story focuses on Santa's bake shop and there are a lot of scratch-and-sniff stickers to smell along the way. This is a good picture book, with a short narrative and lots of colorful illustrations. The mystery wasn't too difficult, nor was it scary. I purchased this book as a gift for our girls for Christmas and then we donated it to the library.

The Christmas tradition that will not die. I hate this book. I hate the way Santa treats the elves. Really, I do.

The best thing I can say about it, is that it doesn't stink anymore.
