This book features the Peanuts gang in the mid-1970's. In the story which inspired the title, Peppermint Patty shares a desk with the slightly embarrased Charlie Brown. Peppermint Patty nags poor old Chuck to death until Charlie Brown finally yells "Stop criticizing me!"- you tell her, Chuck! As for Peppermint Patty, she gets so upset her mood ring pops! Schroeder humors Lucy after she's asked 1 too many stupid questions ("Do you think Beethoven was a better musician than Elton John?") and graciously dons a pair of Elton's specs magnaminously given by you-know-who.

There is little to say about Charles Shulz's Peanuts: pure poetry. Someone might object to what i write saying that " A Comics writer can't be a poet"... If you think so..well..just read any of Charles Shulz Peanuts Classics and i bet you will not be able to disagree with me.

This book is about Snoopy as the World War I Flying Ace. He uses his favorite little French cafe (Marcie's house) as his hideout from the red baron. Marcie plays along, but then Snoopy has one too many root beers. You'll have fun finding out how Marcie tries to get rid of him and send him back to Charlie Brown!

This is a great date book for Charles Schultz lovers. Just by flipping the pages you can remember all those funny comics that used to be in the paper every day. This date book is a great way to remeber the great Charles Schultz. Peanut lovers this book is for you!

"Good Ol' Charlie Brown" is the 4th Peanuts reprint book. It contains strips from 1955-1957. Published by Holt, Rinehart and Winston.

You might have heard that in the 1950s' there were "Peanuts books". Simple paperbacks for 40 cents could get you a Peanuts book filled with laughs and sometimes you could be lucky enough to reserve the next book out. This particular book focuses on Snoopy, starting off with some relatively funny strips and others you might have seen in other Snoopy books. But old Snoop (as Peppermint Patty calls him) still reigns the dog world after the last page. I'm fortunate enough to say that every Peanuts book I got in the 1950s' (which totals over 40) I still have in good condition, and you never know- look through a box of yours and you might find the 40 cent paperback you used to cherish.

Charlie Brown goes away to camp and shares a bunk with an unfriendly kid who just sits on his bunkbed with his back to Charlie Brown and says "Shut up and leave me alone!" Lucy "breaks up" with Schroeder, after dissing her (his telephone operator routine is a scream, I don't want to give it away if you don't understand!). Linus reluctantly takes Sally to play tennis but it ends after Sally tells the big kids off! Charlie Brown and the gang play a game of Ha Ha Herman (and Peppermint Patty denies she has a crush on her "Chuck," unknowing that Charlie Brown has heard all! Marcie (after making a cameo under a different name many years ago) is formally introduced and gives Peppermint Patty the nickname "Sir." Thus, Peppermint Patty has a new expression: "STOP CALLING ME SIR!" She also wears a dress for the 1st time after her school enforces a dress code. Joe Cool (an alter ego of you-know-who) also makes his debut.

I have read several different Charlie Brown milestone books and this has got to be the best! I hated to put it down once I got started. It shows how Charles Schultz got started and the evolution of the Peanuts gang. This is a must read for any Charlie Brown fan.

Funny strips about the whole Peanuts gang from 1979 come in this humorous collection. The book is full of hilarious strips about old topics with a few new twists, such as Peppermint Patty's math troubles (and we find Woodstock working wonders with square roots), and with whole new topics--Woodstock and Lucy try their hands at farming, and all goes well until a boundary dispute erupts, and Snoopy the surveyor has the deciding vote in whose land is whose. Charlie Brown, meanwhile, gets sick and dizzy up on the pitcher's mound, and leaves for a short stay in the hospital, getting everybody (even Lucy) worried. Oh, and as for why the book is called Here Comes the April Fool, there is a strip explaining that as well.

This cute little book (29 pages, excluding the title page and so forth) is another excellent example of the work of the incomparable Charles M. Schulz. This book places the Peanuts gang back in 1787, where they assist the Constitutional Convention. As they do their good deeds, they learn about the new American form of government.

When I was a child, I absolutely loved the Peanuts, and I am so pleased that my own children have now fallen in love with those same funny characters. This book is large and attractive, with brightly colored pictures that are sure to please the young reader (and Peanuts fans of all ages). In particular we all had a laugh at Snoopy and Woodstock wearing 18th century powdered wigs! My children and I highly recommend this book to you!
