The Christmas Cookie Case (Scooby-Doo! Picture Clue Book, No. 20) [Paperback]

Maria S. Barbo (Author), Duendes del Sur (Illustrator)

Book Description

Age Level: 4 and up | Grade Level: P and up

SCOOBY-DOO is an 'Ameri-canine' icon, the most beloved cartoon pooch of the past three generations. The snack-sniffling sleuth and his pals are in the midst of a huge popularity and awareness upswing

The Picture Clue books are based on the traditional "rebus Reader" - using a picture as a tool for learning a word. On the sample spread, you can see where a picture is substituted for a word. This gives a young reader a sense of pride that she is "reading" the story. All pictures and vocabulary are on flashcards at the end of the book.

Scooby and the gang are at the North Pole helping Santa get ready for Christmas. Scooby and Shaggy helped bake cookies, but now they're all gone! Who took the cookies? It looks like there's a mystery to solve!

This review is from: The Christmas Cookie Case (Scooby-Doo! Picture Clue Book, No. 20) (Paperback)

My 6-year-old enjoys reading this book & my daughter did about that age also. The pictures in place of many of the words make it quite fun for children. Scholastic recommends it for Preschool-Grade 1. In my opinion it's a bit wordy & not an easy read for the younger children in that age group. They'll have fun with the pictures but will need a lot of help with the words. My son is in 1st grade & it's finally about the right level for him although I still have to help out quite a bit. I also found a few errors in the book. Words in place of pictures when pictures had been used in the rest of the story & little stuff like that but still they were errors nonetheless. Any fan of Scooby Doo should enjoy this book if they are aged 4-8. I would recommend this book but just know that if you get it for the younger ones that you'll still be helping out quite a bit.

My 4-year-old LOVES Scooby-Doo, and he enjoyed reading this book with me. He recognized some sight words from preschool and got the hang of the pictures representing words throughout the story.
