As other reviewers have stated, this is a nice quality book, with a heavy binding and nice colorful illustrations. My low rating for this book comes not from the production of the item but from its content.
I remember loving Scooby-Doo when I was a kid, and now my son is into this show. We prefer the original series shows to the later ones, in part because they are simpler and more innocent: the monsters are not real, they are just people made up to look like ghosts or whatever. It was a fun show that dealt with greed and misdeeds in a light-hearted way, without murder and supernatural forces. Also, at the end of the original stories, the cops always showed up to portray the kids as being on the side of justice, not vengence.
However, in this book there are several stories where the monsters ARE real. In "Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders", the space aliens are really from outer space, they transform into lizard-like forms near the end of the story and get picked up by a space ship. In "Scooby-Doo and the Witches Ghost", the story involves real witches doing real magic and a real ghost who does away with the bad guy at the end. He is not arrested, but is sucked into a spell book along with the evil witch-ghost (see p. 199 in the images). These two stories in particular are not in line with the light-heartedness of the orignal series. They are more frightening (for a kid) than the classic Scooby-Doo tales, and I don't find them appropriate for my young son.
The age range for this book says 4-8, but I think age 4 is maybe too young to be faced with real monsters (just my opinion).

This compilation of 8 stories is perfect for my children. They love Scooby-Doo and you can't beat the price for this set.

The stories are very long but the kids absolutely love Scooby and usually pick this book out for bedtime reading. The only problem I have is that each story has a different font and some of the fonts are squiggly and hard to read and make my eyes water and blur and it's hard to focus. It's weird but if you have the book you'll know what I mean!

My nephew loves Scooby Doo, but he has a rather short attention span, so I was a little worried that this book wouldn't be read much. However, he will sit still for a full story, so this book turned out to be a great gift.
