I really enjoyed this collection and had so much fun reading about the adventures of Snoopy and the rest of the Peanuts gang. I loved the artwork and I highly recommend this collection to everyone.
Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review
A book as classic in nature as its titular character. There is much to enjoy in this colorful, whimsical, and very, very funny book.
Delightful for ALL ages! What else can I say? Everyone LOVE Snoopy and the Gang! A great book, I highly recommend!
It’s Charlie Brown and the gang so naturally I devoured this book as soon as it downloaded on my iPad. I’ve now finished my reread and all I can think is that I need to save up for the inevitable. One of these days I’m going to own the entire collection of Peanuts so I will always have smiles at my fingertips.
I was surprised by the amount of comics in this collection that I’d never read before. There will be kids who are discovering Peanuts who’ll no doubt ask their parents what some of the now dated references mean but they are few and far between. I loved that this collection was in colour so even the comics I already knew and loved felt fresh.
Snoopy continues his battle of wits with the creative bully cat next door and we wait with Linus and Marci for the Great Grape. (Sorry, Linus, I was just messing with you. Unlike Marci I know it’s the Great Pumpkin!) Peppermint Patty asks for Marci’s help to stay awake in class and Sally talks to the school building and seeks protection against the powers of darkness, i.e., the third grader whose ruler she broke. Charlie Brown checks his calendar to see if there’s anything coming up that he needs to dread, Schroeder plays piano and is annoyed by Lucy, Lucy dispenses 5 cents worth of wisdom, Snoopy’s brother Spike visits, Woodstock saves the day, and Pig-Pen even makes an appearance. My favourite comics included delightfully dour Eudora, who Sally first meets at camp.
Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the opportunity to giggle my way through this collection of comics. I’m already looking forward to the next collection.
Most of us grew up reading Charles Schultz' cartoons in the paper and watching the many TV specials. We recognized our young selves in Charlie Brown's gang of misfits. As adults we all had a "Charlie Brown" Christmas tree for awhile. These books are designed to let your middle age kids have the same experiences you did. I read this book, then had all the kids that hang out at my house read it. Their ages run from 6-16 and all enjoyed it, especially when they read it with their friends and family. It's a great book to read and share during story time or use as a starting point in conversations of what would you do if it had been you holding the football? We all really loved it!
This collection of comics was so fun! My dad has several Peanuts books from when he was a kid and I loved reading them when I was little. I also loved reading them in the newspaper and I always watch the holiday specials.
I liked that each comic was 4 panels, but sometimes several of them made up a whole story. I also liked how there were a few 4 panel stories, but they kept coming up throughout the book but a little different. Like how Snoopy would make fun of the cat next door about something specific and the cat would swipe a shape related to what Snoopy was teasing it about in his doghouse.
There was a great variety of different characters in the comics and I loved them all. Of course I have to say my favorite is Snoopy!
Always a pleasure to go back down memory lane and read about the adventures of my these iconic characters. I especially loved the revamped and modernized designs.
If you're a fan of Snoopy and friends then you can't go wrong with this collection of comic strips. Always a fun way to pass the time!
This is a sweet collection of Snoopy comic strips. The selected strip brought a smile to my face and jogged memories of my childhood when peanuts comics were in the newspaper. Thank you for the opportunity to review this book.
Love this! This is another funny collection of Peanut comics. It is fantastic. If you are a fan of Snoopy or any of the Peanuts gang this is a great book for you. If you enjoy laughs and comics this is great for you too!
It's a beautiful collection. I am a great fan of Peanuts comics and this reminds me of all the good days of reading them. It's beautiful.
Join the Peanuts gang as they explore Snoopy’s affinity to Boogie! There are lots of comics selected with a young audience in mind as they relate to school, holidays, life, sports, and more. There’s a character for everyone. Snoopy’s antagonistic relationship with the cat next door is classic! The small historical research piece at the end explores the history of the Peanuts gang, Snoopy, and Snoopy’s well known dance. Great for all ages.
Oh Snoopy how I love you! This was a cute little book for the kid in me! I wouldn’t recommend missing out on reading a classic Snoopy tale!
Thank you Netgalley for allowing me to read and review Snoopy: Boogey Down. I grew up watching the Peanuts gang and reading books similar to this one as a child. Snoopy has always been my favorite character. It was nice to re-read these comic strips from long ago and being able to introduce a new generation to these gems from the past.
Yup, Peanuts now is just as unfunny as when I read and watched him/it decades ago. Why one girl calls another 'Sir', why there is such an amount of repetitive 'stupid cat' strips, and more – all will remain unanswered.
I have been a Peanuts fan since I was a young girl years ago. I used to collect everything Peanuts. This book helped me remember why I loved them so much. Not to mention Charlie Brown's sister Sally has my name. This is a group of comic strips from Mr. Schulz. They still bring a chuckle when you read them. I had forgotten some of the characters and was glad to see my old favorites in here. This is in comic book form and if you want a bit of nostalgia this is a great way to get it. It also has a special section on comic strips where they dance. I was also happy to see they have a Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center in California. This is a must have for any Peanut fan or to introduce your children to your favorite childhood characters.
I received this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
Snoopy: Boogie Down! is Peanuts at its finest. Classic and funny, the comics can be read by adults and children alike over and over again for light-hearted fun. Tackling holidays, seasons, and childhood, the comics run the gauntlet from Lucy and Schroader to Snoopy taunting the cat to Linus's continued search for the Great Pumpkin. With all your favorite story lines and your favorite characters, the reader will enjoy countless entertainment between the pages of the volume. Guaranteed to take the reader back to simpler times, the comic strips will be re-read for the fun and smiles they bring. This book series is proof that Charles M. Schulz works will always be timeless and enjoyed by the masses. My voluntary, unbiased review is based upon a review copy from Netgalley.
It was and is always so much fun to read the Peanuts comic strip. Charles M. Schultz was a genius in how he made his strip so appealing to kids and adults alike. Peanuts is timeless and is always guaranteed to elicit a smile and/or laugh. As a bonus, it may impart a pearl of wisdom or a different perspective. I highly recommend this collection!
My favorite strips were and continue to be the ones about Snoopy so when I saw that this book’s title featured that cute little beagle, I knew I had to read it! There are some great strips featuring Snoopy and his feud with the stupid cat, Snoopy pretending to be an owl, Snoopy with his dinner bowl, Snoopy writing a book (on a typewriter of all things! Most of these strips are not at all dated but that one was. Today I guess Snoopy would be writing a book on an ipad!)
It is always a treat to see Peanuts in color! The drawings are still adorable and delightful! Nothing beats a smiling, laughing or dancing Snoopy! There are some classic ones, like Charlie Brown asks Snoopy why he doesn’t dance anymore for his dinner. And, Lucy saying its windy, raining and cold — it’s a good day to be crabby. Of course, a Peanuts collection would not be complete without Charlie Brown trying to kick the football that’s held by Lucy or Charlie Brown on the mound pitching. There are plenty of these are included in this collection.
There is a great 4-5 pages that detail the history of Snoopy’s dancing and how it changed throughout the years, even if they were in black and white. There is even one very early one in which Snoopy looked different and its always interesting to see the visual of how a character started out.
It never ceases to amaze me how simple some Peanuts strips are and yet hey are so funny. I enjoyed the ones about Sally telling Charlie Brown about different English symbols liken ampersand and a musical clef, which if you didn’t know they hate each other! She explains that brackets always come in pairs so if you see only one by itself, you will know it’s up to no good!
I always appreciated how some Peanuts strips continue with the same situation, just with a different spin. For example, there are quite a few featuring Peppermint Patty dealing with her problem of falling asleep in class. Her friend Marcie gives her advice and different ideas of what is causing the problem. Some of them are just so hilarious.
Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
Snoopy: Boogie Down is a collection of veteran Peanuts strips marketed to the middle grades.
It’s not just Snoopy. All the gang is here: Charlie Brown, Lucy, Sally, Peppermint Patty and even Snoopy’s brother Spike at the way from Needles. The comics were selected to appeal to the middle grades by emphasizing sports, school, summer camp and pets. Older adults may have to explain some of the celebrity references like Farrah Fawcett and even what the word “Boogie” means. However, even older readers will enjoy this trip down Memory Lane.
Snoopy: Boogie Down is recommended for anyone looking for a humorous reflection on life’s ironies. 4 stars!
Thanks to Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley for an advance copy.
Oh come on... It's Peanuts, of course it's good. And even though some jokes are dated, they remain funny.
