1.0 out of 5 stars A commercial for Cap'n Crunch, Oreo's, Scooby Snacks....., February 8, 2005

This review is from: The Case of the Glow-in-the-Dark Ghost (Jigsaw Jones, No. 24) (Library Binding)

With so many wonderful books for children this age (The Magic School Bus, the Magic Tree House, Junie B. Jones, The Littles, etc.) there is no need to waste your money on this unapologetic commercial for junk food. The ONLY reason for Chapter 3, "The Cap'n and Me" is to market the cereal to young children. I am shocked that Scholastic, with its fine reputation for providing stimulating and interesting reading material, would put its name on such blatant advertisements. I can only suppose that someone is getting a kick-back from Quaker Oats, Nabisco, & General Mills. Don't waste your money... let your children watch TV and you can get the commercials for "free".
