Absolutely love Snoopy!!! Charles Schulz was a genius. From a new school to Peppermint Patty looking for a private school and taking Snoopy's suggestion (a dog obedience school), the storylines are perfectly matched to the characters.

Always funny. Highly recommend this compilation.

If you like Peanuts comic strips, you need to read this. I smiled and laughed through the whole book!

Peanuts are always a nice piece of Brain Candy between heavy reads. A palette cleanser if you will. My fav part of this volume is Peppermint Patty's vacation reading. I don’t think we could have ever been friends.

Funny, classic and slightly nostalgic. A wonderful book.

If you are Charlie Brown fan then you will enjoy this book. The comics and graphics are wonderful, of course. It is a great addition to other books they have provided of the comics in the past.

I don’t have to describe Peanuts to you, do I? Of course not. So I’ll just mention some of my fave jokes.
The book starts with Sally talking to a building. . . and the building thinking, if not talking back, the same way Snoopy does. So all is normal.
Peppermint Patty enrolls in dog obedience school. That’ll end well. At least that’s different than the usual fare.
There’s a cat called World War II.
It’s a really good friend who holds your head after your grandfather tells you that reading too much will make your head fall off.
There’s an almost-Goth girl named Truffles.
Snoopy’s not a rescue pilot, he’s the actual chopper. Woodstock is the pilot.
Tree-biting is a thing not limited to woodpeckers.
Bunny-print needlepoint is the thing to do when on guard duty.
The Beagle has landed!
Ends with fun facts about helicopters, with some heavy scientific explanations. Even shows how to make one. . . out of paper, that is.

Classic Peanuts collection. What is not to love about these characters so many generations have grown up loving? The format is typical for the comic strips and the picture clarity is better than anything you'd get in the Sunday funnies.

A good dose of nostalgia, this book introduced me to a few Peanuts storylines that I didn't know including Linus' potential girlfriend who lives in the country. When she and Sally come face-to-face, Linus is left hanging in the wind on the roof. We also see Snoopy on the verge of marriage and in long-running feud with the cat next door.

Not my favorite Peanuts book but fills that nostalgia-need.



Three stars

I'm Not Your Sweet Babboo! contains everything you know and love about the Peanuts characters. With comic strips that run the gamut from school and sports to the holidays and typical Snoopy shenanigans, the book has comic strips that will leave you giggling and in a better mood. The innocence of childhood is brought to life in this graphic novel that is sure to be welcome much read addition to any Peanut's lovers library. My voluntary, unbiased review is based upon a review copy from Netgalley.

I'm always amazed at how contemporary Charlie Brown books seem After fifty years, you would think they would seem, at the very least, quaint, and at the very worst, hopelessly out of date. But Charles Schultz managed to catch the essence of the children and seemingly took them out of time. I'm glad that these books are coming back. Children of now should know what they are capable of.

I was given this ARC by NetGalley in return for an honest review.
How I love Peanuts comics! I grew up with them and I still enjoy curling up on the couch with the stories of Charlie Brown and Snoopy.
This collection focused a bit more on Peppermint Patty and I found myself chuckling quite a bit.
Overall, this is a good collection of Peanuts stories and I would definitely recommend it.

I found out that my kindle does not support this type of file, so I can not read it!

I am making my foray into books designed specifically for children with this book. I state this upfront solely because I know of multiple Peanuts panels which might apply more to the mind of an adult than to children. This book is not a collection of those panels. These are simple, upfront and mildly thought-provoking to the adult mind.That does not take away from the comic aspect of the tale.

In this collection, the original peanut characters are now older siblings, and there are more new players in the drama. There is a wicked cat next door who is fighting with snoopy. Charlie's younger sister is extremely fond of puns and Peppermint Patty is having trouble becoming literate enough to enjoy school, Linus still clings to his blanket at times. The comic strip does focus (as usual) on sad as well as happy thoughts in these kids. For anyone with even the tiniest funny bone, this series ( as well as this book) would be a good one to add to the bookshelf.

This book was, as expected from this classic comics collection, totally adorable!

Patty Peppermint vicissitudes with school are just so sweet and hilarious and snoopy answers to them just so him! "Can do public? Can afford private? Here a brochure for a dog training school!" LOL!

Only Schulz can make such magical tales out of such silly topics, making it relatable and educational for young readers. This kind of humor is the one that you only grow to love more as you get older.

The art is gorgeous too as usual. I like the addition of the educational activities at the end.

Thank you Net Galley. Great read anytime. Snoopy is the best!

Was so excited to pick up a Peanuts collection. Unfortunately, they just didn't hold up for me. Too dated and a sexist for me to recommend. Could better curate (read: selectively delete) to make it better for me.

Get ready to celebrate your inner kid as you enjoy this collection of timeless classic comic strips.
The Peanuts gang comes alive once again in this brand new republished collection. All your favourite characters are here including Charlie, Sally, Lucy, Linus, Snoopy, Woodstock, Patty, Marcie and Schroeder.
All the best things everyone loves about Peanuts are in these strips including: football and baseball, the Kite-Eating tree, the blanket, the psychiatry booth, the doghouse, "oh, good grief", don't call me "sir", and especially don't call me" your sweet babboo."
This collection will have everyone in stitches while reliving their childhood.
You will not be able to hold back your chuckles regardless of your age. This collection is like riding on a nostalgic wave and is truly a treat for everyone young and old and especially for all fans of Peanuts.
Thank you very much to the publisher for providing me with a copy of the ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I own Peanuts collections, but I have never read any of the comics compiled in this book.

There is not a lot to say about Peanuts that is not already known. The characters are great, and I liked being able to see them in new situations. Anyone who enjoys Peanuts should read this collection. Most likely, you will read Peanuts comics you haven't read before, or at least, haven't read in a while.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
