If you've watched any Scooby-Doo movie or TV show then you know the basic flow structure of a Scooby-Doo story. In the same way, this book flows from the introduction to the new characters to finding out who the criminals are. It was funny, mysterious, and overall a wonderful read.

This was a great children's read, it has two things that are fun together Batman and Scooby-Doo, it was a short read but still enjoyable.

In this small volume we find another Scooby-Doo and the gang adventure. This time they are helped by Batman and try to solve the mystery of the men / animals that haunt Fred's friend's farm.

It is a book with an easy to read story, with few (but very nice) illustrations and with a super funny cameo for fans of both characters.

It should be noted that this book is for a very young audience.

My sons love Scooby-Doo and this book was no exception. We got to throw in BATMAN! Super hero meeting your other goofy heroes....perfect combination.
This book didn't disappoint with Scooby and Shaggy's wild antics and the spooky characters that materialize in the dark of the night. The Case of the Cursed Crop had the right amount of scary mixed with the right amount of funny. Love the addition of a classic superhero such as Batman it brings the two very different character groups together and definitely expands the others audiences. Definitely recommend for the young readers, good book to practice and perfect your reading skills.

A Scooby Doo/ Batman crossover is always a good time!
We all know the formula these stories are build upon and this one doesn't stray from what is tried and true.
My 6 year old enjoys both Scooby Doo and anything related to superheroes, so this was right up his alley.
It is a chapter book and not a comic or picture book, so be aware that the text to picture ratio leans heavier on the written word. My 1st grader can read it mostly independently. The sentence structure and plot line is easy enough for him to understand when reading alone, but also as a read aloud.

I wasn't aware of this series of books, but I can say that I really liked the combination of Scooby Doo and Batman. It was a good adventure and fun. Recommend for younger people!

This book relies heavily on the recongizability of the characters. It does no character development, no exploration of motivation. We get only the thinnest of explanations for the presence on the farm and the investigation.

My daughter is a fan of scooby Doo so really enjoyed this book, really well laid out, a great length too and all that you would expect from scooby doo

4 stars

The fact that there was a collaboration between scooby doo and batman i am already sold with the graphics of the cover! It was a great read and i thoroughly enjoyed the story plot.

I love both Batman and Scooby Doo so ofcourse I had to read this. I am so glad I did because this was such a fun read.

I do recommend

Cute story for kids who love Scooby and Batman.

Mystery Inc is off to solve another case, this time near Gotham City. They accidentally use the Bat Signal and the Dark Knight arrives. The story is just spooky enough to thrill young readers, but not scary enough to cause nightmares. If your children love solving crime with Batman and mysteries with Mystery Inc, they’ll enjoy The Case of the Cursed Crop!

This is such a fun short read! I hope this becomes a series.

I love the illustrations. They stick to the original artstyle which I really appreciate.

The plot is fine. The characters have their distinct roles . Shaggy and Scooby provided the humour. Batman. I feel like his role needs to be more solid in the story.

But overall, it's a really fun read.

Thank you, author and the artist, the publisher Stone Arch Books for the advance reading copy.

I appreciate the publisher allowing me to read this book. My son a huge Batman fan loved this book and recommended for all bat man fans.

Following Scooby-Doo and the rest of Mystery Inc coming to the aid of their friend Kevin, whose farm is haunted. While there they accidentally summon Gotham's greatest detective. And together they help solve the mystery of Kevin’s cursed crops. This was such a fun mystery. The illustrations are stunning. Would love to pick up more in this series.

I got this on Netgalley in exchange for an honest review!

I love both Batman and Scooby-Doo, and I think this is a great story for younger children who love either or both! Especially so if they have seen the crossover episodes of the show that already exists! The story is new and interesting, while also following the same, known patterns of Scooby-Doo. The chapters are the perfect length and I love the pictures!

I also always think it's great when books have questions/tasks in the back, and it makes it great to use in the classroom!

Would really recommend!

I mean how can you not like a Scooby-Doo? I’ve been watching and reading Scooby-Doo since I was a child and this book doesn’t disappoint. This book actually has the added bonus of Batman, it’s a 2 for 1 special.

If you’re familiar with Scooby-Doo at all then you know the formula that’s used for all the stories. The Mystery Gang (and Batman) arrive at the haunted location, see some monsters/are attacked by them, they look for clues, monsters attack again, they find more clues, funny banter, and then they catch the monsters to reveal who is actually behind the hauntings. This book follows the formula to a T so if you’re looking for a book version of the show this is definitely an option.

One thing to be noted is that this is a chapter book and is a little over 70 pages long, just a little warning for younger kids who can’t handle that long of a story. It is broken down into 5 chapters which is nice if you wanted to split it up over a couple of days for younger readers. Since this is a chapter book it also doesn’t include as many pictures, there about one full page picture every 3-7 pages.

The thing that I really liked about this book was the additions at the beginning and end. In the beginning, there is a small biography about Batman as well as the Mystery Gang. I think this is a great idea considering a child may only be familiar with one, this biography will help acquaint the child with the characters before starting. At the end of the book, there are 2 pages giving information about the person behind the hauntings. I actually found this helpful as not much detail was given in the story regarding this character and the character comes from Gotham City, since I don’t really know Batman I was familiar with this character. In the back was also a glossary with words that were of higher vocabulary. This would be helpful to the younger readers; however, these glossary words weren’t highlighted in the book so you wouldn’t know the definition was given in the back until you got there. Finally, there were also questions and prompts in the back of the book regarding the story and characters. This would make for good questioning as well as writing assignments.

Overall, I liked the book. It reminds me of my childhood and is on par with the other scooby books. I think what makes this book above an average 3 is the addition of questions and biographies. I do wish we learned more about the villain from the actual story instead of the biography but I do appreciate that the biography was added. Would recommend it to kids who are fans of Scooby-Doo or Batman.

Thank you Netgalley for the chance to review another fun mystery by my favorite mystery solving team. While the short caper maybe for children, I found the constant surprises of monsters appearing out of the fog to be entertaining. At first I thought it may have been the work of some one pulling tricks with smoke and mirrors, but as soon as I saw Batman I knew it had to be one of his villains from Gotham.

The story keeps you interested, but if it's meant for kids, then I suggest a few more pictures to keep them engaged in the story. The artwork is done extremely well and takes you on a dark, spook, yet light hearted ride with Scooby-Doo.

Mini Review: I used to read the Scooby Doo chapter books when I was younger, and when I saw this book on Netgalley, I thought it would be fun to read it as a throwback to all the ones I used to read. It was really fun! Reading about the Mystery Inc. gang solving a mystery with Batman was fun, and I know I would have loved it when I was younger. I also loved the illustrations throughout! I definitely recommend it to all chapter book readers!

I received an e-ARC from the publisher.

Thank you to NetGalley, Capstone, and Stone Arch Books for this digital review copy.

I have been a fan of Scooby-Doo for basically my entire life. I grew up watching the original show on Cartoon Network and Boomerang. Now at 26 years old, I have even been watching the newer shows on Netflix. I have also been keeping up with a majority of the movies (my favorites will always be The Witch's Ghost and The Ghoul School).

I also really enjoyed reading chapter books such as this one while I was growing up. When I originally requested this book for review I thought it was one of the graphic novels but I was pleasantly surprised that it was actually a chapter book.

This book begins with Scooby and the rest of Mystery Inc arriving to a friend's farm house which is believed to be haunted. Now it is up to them to determine whether or not that is true. Upon arriving they accidentally send a bat signal and have now summoned Batman to the farmhouse. After a brief conversation (and being attacked by what seem like mutant farm creatures), Batman decides to stay and help Mystery Inc solve the mystery.

This book read to me exactly like how I would expect to see an episode of Scooby-Doo play out on TV and now that I think about it, I think that this would make an excellent TV episode. I would definitely watch it. This book was filled with friendship, comedy, and of course a great mystery.

I would definitely recommend this book to any fan of Scooby-Doo and Batman!

When Scooby and his pals from Mystery Inc are called to solve the mystery of a haunted farm, they accidentally summon Batman. The Caped Crusader decides to stay and help the others unravel the mystery behind the strange fog and bizarre creatures that keep appearing.

This is a chapter book, probably aimed at about the 10-12 age group. If you're familiar with Scooby's adventures, this story follows some familiar ground. There are some scary scenes and humour before the more human ex-planation is found. Still, it's well-told. Every few pages, there is a full-page colour illustration. All of the illustrations are excellent. There are also some educational features at the end, including a glossary of difficult words, some discussion questions, and some writing prompts.

Overall, a good reader for children who like Scooby Doo or Batman.
