Scooby-Doo Explores Cities

Characters interact via word balloons, often sharing intentionally labored puns that match the humor of the cartoon, as when Scooby fills up at a "grass station" in the grassland habitat (Habitats). Various villains from the series can be spotted hiding in many of the scenes; these are identified at the end of each book. VERDICT Limited use for learners, but the cartoon tie-ins and interactive elements will appeal to some readers.--Steven Engelfried, formerly at Wilsonville Public Libr
