About the Author
Charles Monroe Schulz (1922 -2000) was a 20th-century American cartoonist best known for his Peanuts comic strip. He was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, to Dena and Carl Schulz. His nickname "Sparky" was given by his uncle, after the horse Spark Plug in the Barney Google comic strip. He attended St. Paul's Richard Gordon Elementary School, where he skipped two half-grades. As a result, he was the youngest in his class when he attended St. Paul Central High years later, which may have been the reason why he was so shy and isolated as a young teenager. After his mother died in February, 1943, he was drafted into the army and sent to Camp Campbell in Kentucky. He was then shipped to Europe two years later to fight in World War II. After leaving the United States Army in 1945, he took a job as an art teacher at Art Instruction Inc., which he attended before he was drafted. First published by Robert Ripley in his Ripley's Believe It or Not!, then in a series of chronicles, The Saturday Evening Post, his first regular comic strip, Li'l Folks was published in 1947 by the St. Paul Pioneer Press. (It was in this strip that Charlie Brown first appeared, as well as a dog that looked much like Snoopy). In 1950 he approached the United Features Syndicate with his best strips from Li'l Folks, and Peanuts made its first appearance on October 2, 1950. This strip became one of the most popular comic strips of all time. He also had a short-lived sports-oriented comic strip called It's Only a Game (1957-1959), but abandoned that strip due to the demands of the success of Peanuts.

Perfect Thanksgiving favor,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (Peanuts) (Hardcover)
Unlike other reviewers, I purchased this book especially because it is tiny. For one, my 2 year old daughter loves tiny books (think Beatrix Potter), and for another, I was looking for something to give our littlest guests as favors on Thanksgiving. If you haven't introduced very small books to your young children, you might consider doing so... their little hands love the diminutive pages and the "especially for them" size of the book as a whole. My daughter's sets of tiny books have become her favorite toys.
This book is adorable, and the classic illustrations will make parents and kids smile. The binding is nice and sturdy. I'll set one at each child's place setting and I know it'll look great. As long as you're aware that the book is tiny (the description clearly states so in the dimensions... at least it did when I purchased), you should be pleased with this little book.

This review is from: A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (Peanuts) (Paperback)
Since Halloween my son really started getting into Charlie Brown. So, I bought the "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" book thinking that it was just a storybook version of the television special. I was pleasantly surprised, however, to find that the book included interactive stickers for each page. We did one page each day until Thanksgiving and found it to be so much fun that I have been hunting for sticker books ever since.
