I do like this book, and it will be perfect for kindergartners and first graders in the use of site words. Students/children should connect the picture to an object, or a person in order to give sense to what they are reading. This book will help students to develop communication skills by using new words, or connecting different words to one object and deduct the convenient one.

This is a super cute Scooby book. It’s an easy read for beginner readers. I love the picture clue books because it allows kids to get excited about reading and help read even before they are able to recognize words. There were some picture clues in this book though that I had to check the flash cards for to make sure I was using the right word for them. I think the picture clues should always be obvious what they are and sometimes they’re not. I also don’t like when the picture clues doubled when it is supposed to be plural. That just makes it confusing for readers. Overall though I enjoyed the story. The plot was cute and the pictures were great. I would recommend this book to young and beginner readers who are fans of Scooby Doo.

My children love these little books. They thoroughly enjoy each and every story, as if they are all unique and individual without any cause for similarity among them. Even though sometimes, they might seem tedious and repetitive to me as a parent, I do enjoy being able to read short-stories to my children that are clean and respective.

This book uses pictures to describe some words throughout the book and it gives the students a picture to word strategy.

This book is a fun read for a kindergartener because the students feel like they are solving a problem whenever you read it to them.

Even the blurb for this book is wrong the word is loses not looses - learn basic English!
Anyway this is far away from Scooby Doo and I guess some will use it to teach young readers, but it is really pretty lame and dopey.
