The Best of the 1960's Peanuts
This features some of the best Peanuts cartoons from the 1960's. In it, you will see what inspired specials like "A Boy Named CB", "It Was a Short Summer, CB" and "You're Not Elected, CB". You have the born loser Charlie Brown going to a rained out baseball game, making a friend at summer camp, and trying to fly his kite. You have the philosophical Linus who thinks he's discovered a wooden sphere and tries to share his theological viewpoints. Lucy is as crabby as ever as she chews Charlie Brown out in psychiatric help when not pulling that football away. Peppermint Patty gives a card to her father who calls her a "rare gem". Schroder is the cartoon's musical maestro, Sally jumps rope and pesters Charlie Brown, Pig Pen is a mess, and Woodstock is introduced. Oh yes, let's not forget Snoopy who plays the Easter Beagle, a vulture, the World War I Flying Ace, author of "It Was a Dark & Stormy Night", and himself at Halloween (and mistaken as "some kid in a dog costume"!)! Get this collection if you can (which is in dire need of reprint along with Peanuts Treasury).

Schulz and Peanuts just get better and better!
While scrolling through the list of Peanuts books available through Amazon.com, I couldn't help but notice that NONE of these wonderful books has yet received any customer reviews. So let me be the first -- you will NOT regret buying a Peanuts book by Charles M. Schulz! In fact, my personal observation about Mr. Schulz is that his newer strips are even better than the older "classics"! This is a genuinely gifted person. Show your love and respect for "good ol' Charlie Brown" -- buy as many Peanuts books from Amazon.com as you can possibly afford! Your descendants will be profoundly grateful -- and you'll have lots of fun (re)reading them yourself!

Five Stars
Snoopy deals with the difficulty of writing and creativity with great humor. He also takes rejection in his stride. As always, Charles Schulz draws the strips well and is very cute to look at.

Snoopy and the Gang Out West
This book is great! Full of Wild West facts, colorful photographs and pictures, and delicious recipes. It is a very fun book to flip through and read. My 22 year old sister liked it so much, I'm going to buy her a copy as a gift. If you like cowboys and the west, and if you like to have fun experimenting in the kitchen, this is a book for you!

Snoopy , if only YOU were not so wishy-washy!
In the beginning Snoopy meets a poodle. He tells Charlie Brown how happy they are and that they have decided to get married. Charlie Brown is sad but he agrees just as long as Snoopy is happy. Snoopy writes to his cousin Spike to come to his wedding. Spike sruggles to get there but he makes it. Snoopy starts feeling nervous. The day of the wedding something happens! Something also happens with the poodle but YOU'LL have to find out. This book is fun, funny, and worth reading. I'd say it's good for any age! :)

The key moment in the development of the comic strip comes from a rather simple beginning. Charlie Brown is introduced to baby Schroeder. There are some efforts to help the baby learn how to talk and read, but then Charlie Brown introduces Schroeder to a toy piano. The rest, of course, is history. From the first massive chord Schroeder plays on his piano, Schulz introduces not only a strong sense of whimsy, he also creates his first running-gag. At another point several strips in a row are devoted to the kids playing out in the snow while others deal with Halloween and we can literally see Schulz start to take a bigger perspective on the world of "Peanuts." The characters start to become better defined and those who prove less than satisfactory foils, namely Patty and Shermy, are replaced by more interesting protagonists (I am thinking of Lucy and Linus, but they do not appear at this point); more importantly, eventually Snoopy would be more than a mere beagle. Still, it was something of a surprise to re-read these strips a half-century later and realize that the pivotal character in the development of the comic strip was Schroeder.
