A classic Snoopy comic. Most of the collection isn’t focused on Snoopy’s exploration in space, but there’s still something about it that makes you feel like a kid again.

Thank you to NetGalley and Peanuts collection for the ARC provided.

Who doesn’t like Snoopy? I grew up with this character. Snoopy and his friends always makes me smile with simple and common sense opinions that came from a beagle and kids.

I found myself smiling and laughing while reading this book. The group always completed to each other, interacting, teasing. When Snoopy landed on the moon, I smiled wide to ear instantly.

It’s a good thing that Snoopy and his friends still make a book for generation nowadays, they wont miss any sweet stories from this character.

A great comic book!!

Today, my youngest daughter (10) and I got to read an early digital ARC of the graphic novel, Snoopy First Beagle in Space (PEANUTS AMP Series Book 14): A PEANUTS Collection, by Charles M. Schulz. Thank you Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for providing this book for an honest review. We love all things Snoopy! We are a huge fans of the PEANUTS series so it was a fun & delightful read for our Sunday afternoon. We enjoyed everything about moon-related comic strips and other great collection of the non-space related classic Peanuts comic strips. We absolutely loved reading the book. We also loved the educational space facts included at the end of the book. We highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a fun read! Since we loved it so much that we plan to pre-order a paperback copy for ourselves. We can't wait for the official March 17, 2020 publishing date!

This was my first time reading Snoopy and it was great. It was funny and I enjoyed it very much. I would definitely recommend Snoopy for every age.

Peanuts and Charlie Brown were among my goto Sunday comics back in the ’60s and ’70s. The local paper placed the cartoon on the front page of its full-color section of the paper. My dad would grab the front section; I would grab the weekly comics from the Sunday paper. And there was Snoopy, Charlie Brown, and friends, on the top of the cover of that precious section. Though I no longer receive a paper copy of our local paper (I do subscribe to a digital copy) and no longer have access to Snoopy and the gang, he is still among my favorite strips.

Though a large section of this collection of strips does pick up the theme of Snoopy in space, it certainly does not represent the entire collection. The entire gang is here. The ARC that I received did not indicate the original dates of the included material; thus there is no way of knowing whether they were pulled randomly from available strips or represent a particular year or sequence. As can be seen, color has been added to what may have been B/W strips when originally presented.

It was fun (and I found myself laughing) to watch this group of kids, dogs, and birds (yep, Woodstock is here too) interacting, teasing, and, occasionally, helping each other. I great gift for those who love Charlie Brown or to introduce him to those unfamiliar with his contribution to 20th-century culture. I now want to go back and examine others in this 14 book collection.

It's wonderful to see that Snoopy and his friends have aged so well. I loved the Peanuts comics as a kid but thought I was too old for them now. It turns out you're never too old for Snoopy, Woodstock, Lucy, Linus, Marcy and the round-headed kid (as Snoopy calls Charlie Brown).

This is an impressively long book of re-released color comics from before we made it to the moon. Lots of moon-related comics are included (especially at the start and the end) and then there is some great information about the moonlanding, moments in space history (just the good ones) and the surprising role that Snoopy's gang played in the first moonlanding. Kids are sure to like this book and even learn something. Two of my kids are probably going to be arguing over who gets to read this one first, which is a testament to how well this series has endured.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for the purpose of review.

it's a fun read!

It's hard to pick my favorite as I love most of it. Snoopy is cute, the gang is cute as well, the best is ..Patty and Marcie sarcasm! LOL, love it so much!

Cannot wait to read moreeee

There's just something so comforting about classic Snoopy comics. I enjoyed the book, especially the instructional information at the back about space exploration. Most of the collection isn't about Snoopy and his space endeavors, however, but normal Peanuts exploits - the kids at school, Charlie Brown playing football, etc. If you enjoy Snoopy comics, I definitely recommend this book.

Snoopy isn’t my favorite Peanuts character, so I appreciate that this compilation is not primarily Snoopy-centric comic strips. There is a good mix of comics with other characters in addition to a number of Snoopy comics. The space themed strips bookend the compilation, with seasonal strips in between. The kids at my library have recently rediscovered Peanuts comics, so these newer graphic novel compilations are very popular. I’ll definitely be ordering for our collection.

A great collection of Peanuts comics. Who doesn't love Snoopy? This is a cute book of Peanuts comics and not all have to do with space.

It is nice to see how Peppermint Patty was into reading. Her teacher might need to give her more book about sports. Now I wonder how great Hans Brinker, or the Silver Skates is.

I also like the part when Snoopy mentioned Houston. It took times for me to find out that July 2019 marked as the 50th anniversary of the first humans landing on the moon. That is why they have The First Man, Apollo 11 (Documentary movie) and now First Beagle in Space.

The fact about space on the last pages are also interesting.

Fun Peanuts adventure in Space (and full color). Or at least talking about celestial movements and daydreaming about blasting off to the stars. A unique collection, I don't think I've come across many of these strips before.

I love Snoopy and the gang, so I was very excited to read this collection. Although the title is Snoopy: First Beagle in Space, I will say the majority of the comics had nothing to do with space. That being said, this was still a very enjoyable collection of Peanuts comics.

I received a review copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I was expecting this title to be more space related, but it was still a delightful collection of Peanuts cartoons. The comics with Woodstock and the Beagle Scouts were especially entertaining, and I haven't come across those in other Peanuts collections.

I think this book could have been improved by adding some section breaks. It was a bit of a challenge to find good stopping points as I did not read this volume all the way through in one setting. I would be curious to see if the paperback edition has some sort of sections, or if its one continuous set of comics.

I  received a free digital copy of this book from Netgalley for an honest review.

I love the Peanuts gang! I think my favorite bits included Harriet the bird.

Totally worth the read!

I was really excited to read and review this book since I LOVE Snoopy and the gang, but after downloading it, it kept giving me error messages that I couldn't open it. So I'm not sure what the issue was, but you apparently have a downloading issue. :(

Snoopy: First Beagle in Space

It’s a rather nice surprise to discover that Snoopy (and his friends, The Peanuts) are connected to all things sci-fi in a way that most of don’t expect. Charles Schulz was a huge supporter of America’s effort to go explore space, all the way back in the 60s. So much so in fact that Snoopy is the official safety mascot of NASA.

Snoopy: First Beagle in Space is a charming collection of Snoopy comic strips from a classic era of Snoopy and Peanuts fame. It’s full of all the characters you expect to see in a Snoopy comic and has the same level of gentle humour that’s just funny enough to make you smile and is unlikely to offend anyone. It’s aimed squarely at kids and has Snoopy wandering round the woods leading Woodstock and chums on a scouting mission. Because he’s a beagle scout, apparently.
Despite the name, the majority of the content is nothing to do with beagles in space however. Anyone expecting a comic book version of the TV show Snoopy in Space will be sorely disappointed. We get some space related gag strips at the start and the end of the book, mostly related to Snooopy either fantasising about being an astronaut or worried that the moon will fall on his head. We also get some reprints of classic 1950’s era ‘space’ strips; mostly Charlie Brown playing at being an astronaut. The book also has some content about space exploration suitable for kids, but it’s more an after-thought than anything else.

What we do get is Charlie Brown playing baseball, Lucy being a loud-mouthed braggart, Woodstock being cute and so on. There’s a hint of the Red Baron, but mostly these are cute, short gag strips about being a carefree child in a world where the scariest thing is running out of dog food. The artwork is exactly what you’d expect; deceptively simple and incredibly easy on the eye.

Snoopy: First Beagle in Space doesn’t live up to the promise of its title in the slightest, and yet that doesn’t really matter. It’s Peanuts; it’s cute, it’s silly and it is comfort food for the soul. If you’re not familiar with the material by now you’ll most likely be bored to tears by it, but if you’re beagle fan, then prepare to enjoying the warm and fuzzy nostalgia this sort of thing evokes.

If you want space adventures with everyone’s favourite big-nosed dog, check out Boom Studios more modern Snoopy: A Beagle of Mars, which is more modern and actually puts a dog in space. Otherwise, settle in with a mug of hot chocolate and enjoy.

My son and I enjoyed reading these comic strips. Slightly disappointed that there wasn't more of a "moon" based theme. But over all we giggled and laughed and it was an enjoyable read and a great little mom and son bonding time. It's a great way to encourage younger readers to have a love of books and reading.

Who doesn’t love Snoopy! I really enjoyed this book lots of chuckles and shared comics with my son. What a funny new addition to the timeless collection of Peanuts comic strips.

Snoopy: First Beagle in Space brings back the nostalgia of reading the Sunday comics as a kid. For new readers, it is engaging and varied enough that any Peanuts fan would enjoy this ode to space.

This is a great nod to the Apollo mission and it's 50th anniversary, as well as being varied and engaging enough for a reader just looking for some entertainment. Sticking to Schulz's cute and funny comic strips, this graphic novel covers all of the characters in the Peanuts gang with the usual vibrancy and cleverly crafted illustrations.

Recommended to all Peanuts fans looking to dive back into the world of Snoopy.
