Scooby-Doo! Comic Chapter Books series.
Illustrated by
Scott Neely.
Scooby-Doo and the gang investigate a theater-haunting ghost and an animal spirit disrupting an archaeological dig in a hybrid series that mixes prose with comic-book art. All the elements of a Scooby-Doo Mystery Inc. story are present: fast-paced action, slapstick comedy, and supernatural hoaxes; however, the text-heavy hybrid format feels unbalanced, resulting in a disjointed reading experience. Includes extension questions and jokes. Glos. Review covers the following Scooby-Doo! Comic Chapter Books titles: Curse of the Stage Fright and Legend of the Gator Man.

Unmasking Monsters with Scooby-Doo! series.
Illustrated by
Scott Neely.
In these books, Scooby thinks he sees a legendary creature ("rombie," "rampire," "rerewolf"), and the gang launches into a discussion of monster lore as Shaggy and Scooby try not to freak out. The speech-balloon text superficially covers appearance, behaviors, and weaknesses. The familiar--and not scary--cartoon illustrations and undemanding texts make these adequate introductions for young monster fans. Reading list. Glos., ind. Review covers these Unmasking Monsters with Scooby-Doo! titles: Scooby-Doo! And the Truth Behind Zombies, Scooby-Doo! And the Truth Behind Vampires, and Scooby-Doo! And the Truth Behind Werewolves.
