Hi there,
Scott Neely here to tell you about my work on the Creeper book. It was a lot of fun to work on and it took me a while to do this adaptation of the animated cartoon episode "Jeepers! It's the Creeper!" It was the second Scooby-Doo project that I started in late 1999, and it turned out to be a lot of fun artistically. All that is required is a wet brush for the kids to paint with. It's an easy paint book! Enjoy!
Scott

I had high hopes for this water-painting book. Mainly because the other two 'Super Paint with Water' books like this--which are also manufactured by Golden Books (Pocahontas and Winnie the Pooh)--are great. I have purchased two or three copies over the years of both. With Scooby-Doo, however, I ended up being pretty disappointed. The paint is easy to "swipe around" and covers pretty well but almost everything on the page is a combination of yellow and blue which makes the picture end up looking like a big park no matter what the subject is. I really wish they would bring these types of coloring books back. I am having a hard time finding them to buy anywhere anymore and I prefer these to regular coloring books when doing activities with my nieces and nephews. Its only online that I have been able to get them and only through Marketpace Sellers. On Ebay some of them are selling for $50 or $60...can you imagine?? I can't.

Recently my friends and I were talking about the Paint with Water books that were so common when we were little but you just don't see anymore, so I was really excited when I found them on Amazon. We had a lot of fun with this, but unfortunately I didn't explain to the kids that you HAVE to tear out the pages before getting them wet, and when I wasn't looking they ruined the rest of the book. But lesson learned and we will definately be ordering more of these.
