Children's Literature

In this rather silly reader based on the characters from the Cartoon Network, Scooby-Doo and Shaggy are not thrilled about getting fresh fruits and vegetables for their Thanksgiving dinner. Pizza holds a lot more appeal. A mild scare in the pumpkin patch ends up with them crashing the pumpkin pie-eating contest. All the mishaps are explained away and in the end, Shaggy and Scooby have the Thanksgiving dinner they want. The stylized cartoon characters seem to be stereotypes—the beautiful girl, the handsome jock, the brainy and slightly nerdy girl. Not exactly a stellar cast, but probably familiar to most kids. A level 2 book in the Scholastic reader series. Book #17 in the "Scooby-Doo! Reader" series.
