I remember this book so well that I can even recall how it smelled as I read it as a preschooler. This is a great little book--not outdated in the least, even almost 40 years after it first came out. My childhood copy disintegrated years ago, but I was lucky enough to find it secondhand for my own kids, who like it as much as I did. The wildly-colored pages are a precursor to sixties "groovyness," but the text is years before its time. I think children need to be taught to appreciate the little things in life just as much as adults. It is possible (and maybe necessary) to find satisfaction in daily situations. One of my favorite pages in the book shows Linus working on a jisaw puzzle. "Happiness is finding the little piece with the pink edge and part of the sky and the top of the sailboat." How true!

"Happiness is a Warm Puppy" is as genuinely appealing as it was years ago. It's easy to see why the book is still sought out at online auctions. This is a little book of endearing philosophy that will survive another 40 years.

I thank whoever reproduced these little gems!!! I owned this in elementary school and saw it featured in a woman's magazine and flipped! This book is still as great today as it was then. I bought one for my neighbor's grandaughter and she loves it! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

It's great to have this book again. I had the first editions of all the small "square hardbacks" in the 60's, but lost them somewhere along the line.

They reflect the simplicity and warmth of PEANUTS in their very format.

Happiness Is a Book By Charles Schulz!

This is the first book Charles Schultz ever published, and it still remains his greatest work! This volume is a charming and peaceful as it was when my sister first had a copy back in 1963! This edition is a remarkably perfect copy of the original first edition! It's for anyone who loves the Peanuts gang, and for the new generations that are discovering the joy of Snoopy, Linus, Lucy and Charlie Brown. Filled with quotable wisdom. It's timeless.

I had, and loved, this book as a child. I just bought it to give to my god-daughter. Hadn't seen it in years. Sweet and heartwarming. Brought a smile to my face.

I;ve followed the Peanuts gang ever since they first appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle. This book brings back happy memories of the gang & I'd recommend it to any Peanuts reader as a "must have".

This was my favorite book when I was little my Mom would read it to me all the time and when I learned how to read I read it all the time, the cute book just gave you a happy warm feeling! I wish I still owned the book but unfortunately it was given away but I would love to find this book again not only for me for sentimental reasons but also for my niece! Please reprint this book!

It has the power to soften even the heart of this grumpy software engineer. Seriously, I remember having this as a child and it made me happy to read through it again. The quality of the book (paper, binding) seemed to be very good, too.

I have fond memories of reading this classic with my mother. I read it so many times that it fell apart and my mother had to hold it together using an elastic band! I will now share this wonderful book with my family, and I hope they get as much pleasure from it as I did!

was on my wish list (I own love is walking hand in hand)...surprised for Christmas. Great memories of childhood. Good easy reader book. Just great Schultz work!
