Danielle Erin Betts helps Scooby-Doo solve a mystery.

To our little princess!
Love Mom and Dad

The Dreamy Cream factory was throwing a huge ice cream party, and Danielle Erin Betts, age 2, of Lawton, Oklahoma was invited! Scooby-Doo was there too, along with his friends Shaggy, Fred, Daphne and Velma. Everyone at the party was excited to taste Dreamy Cream's newest ice cream flavor: Polar Berry!

The fun was ruined when a big, angry polar bear charged into the party.

"Wow, Aunt Vicki, Uncle Bobby and David will never believe this!" thought Danielle.

Everyone at the party ran away, except for Scooby-Doo and Shaggy. Even an angry polar bear couldn't keep them away from free ice cream!

"Run!" Danielle shouted to Scooby-Doo and Shaggy. The polar bear chased them all around the outside of the factory.

"Zoinks! That bear wants to eat us as much as we want to eat this ice cream!" Shaggy said,

Danielle led Scooby and Shaggy through the factory door and slammed it shut. They were safe!

Danielle, Scooby-Doo and Shaggy hurried to the ice cream laboratory. Fred, Daphne and Velma were there talking to the factory manager.

"Our laboratory has been wrecked!" said the manager.

"Why would a polar bear wreck an ice cream lab?" Danielle asked.

"That's what we're going to find out!" said Velma.

Shaggy decided Scooby-Doo and Danielle should help him protect the ice cream.

"Zoinks! That creepy bear can't get his paws on the ice cream if we eat it all." Shaggy told Danielle.

They were so busy eating that they didn't notice the polar bear sneaking up behind them!

The polar bear chased Danielle, Scooby-Doo and Shaggy under a machine that filled containers with ice cream.

"Like this is too good to pass by!" Shaggy said.

They tilted their heads back and looked up. Ice cream squirted down out of the machine, right into their open mouths!

"Delicious!" said Danielle.

Danielle had a plan to catch the polar bear. He spilled ice cream onto the floor in front of an open freezer. When the polar bear chased Scooby and Shaggy over the ice cream, they began to slip and slide.

"Grab onto something!" Danielle shouted.

Scooby and Shaggy stopped themselves as the polar bear slid right into the freezer. Danielle closed the door and the bear was trapped!

"Danielle captured the polar bear!" Shaggy said when Fred, Daphne and Velma arrived.

Everyone could see the bear through the freezer window. He was shivering in the cold.

"Polar bears usually like the cold," said Danielle.

"I give up! Let me out of here!" the bear said in a human voice.

Danielle opened the freezer door and let the chilly polar bear out.

"Let's see who's underneath all that fur," Fred said.

The polar bear was really the factory manager in disguise!

"I wanted to steal the secret formula for Polar Berry ice cream and make a fortune for myself," he said.

Dreamy Cream rewarded Danielle with lots of free ice cream.

"Now I can have my own ice cream party with Aunt Vicki, Uncle Bobby and David back in Lawton, Oklahoma," Danielle said.

"You deserve it! We couldn't have solved this mystery without you!" said Daphne. Danielle waved as his new friends drove away in the Mystery Machine.
