You're a fanatic and you're losing your mind, Charlie Brown!,
By Catpeople "catpeople" (Aguascalientes, Mexico) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Peanuts Every Sunday (Peanuts Classics) (Paperback)
Remember when Snoopy was just a crazy dog? No tennis playing, no Second World War scenes... Remember the old gang? In those days, there were only Charlie Brown, Linus, Lucy, Schroeder, PigPen and those two little snakes, Patty and Violet. This 130 page collection of strips from 1958 to 1961 offers enough drama and laughing for several days!For some reason, I find the old peanuts strips more interesting, touching, fun and heart breaking than the latest ones. And this book showed me why. Listen to the kids insult, criticize, philosophize and make sarcasms of each other. Look at the personal dispute of Snoopy against Linus's blanket, see Sally as a little baby and Charlie Brown's kite explode in the air (yes, explode :) This has to be the funniest and most complete collection of blanket-chasing and kite-flying episodes. Thank you, Sparky!

What Can Be More Delightful than the Laughter from PEANUTS?,
By
This review is from: Peanuts Every Sunday (Peanuts Classics) (Paperback)
Back when this was originally published, Peanuts comic books had books exclusively for Sunday cartoons since they took up an entire page. This book features some of the early Peanuts Sunday features from 1958 to 1961.Snoopy would go through his charades- like a boxer with 1 glove on his nose! Sally was a new character here and just a baby. Linus wasn't yet old enough for school and demanded an education. Yet, he proves to have an impressive imagination as he sees images of the apostle Paul in the clouds. Pig Pen comes to Violet's birthday party just as sloppy as he always is- but at least his present is clean! Charlie Brown tries sleeping under the stars but gets scared when he hears a howling sound (Snoopy, of course!). Of course, he gets no respect as baseball manager and gets laughed at by all the kids. It's little wonder he gets irked when the radio announcer asks: "What can be more delightful than the sound of laughter from little children?"! Linus and Lucy both beg their dad to bring them little presents on the way home but Mr. Van Pelt is only taking his car out of the garage to be washed! Lucy asks Schroeder: "If Beethoven was so great, how come he didn't get to be king?". She also tries on one of Charlie Brown's crooked striped T-shirts for a laugh- but this time, the joke's on her! And most of the Peanuts gang is gathered together for the Christmas paegant. Linus forgets his lines, but Lucy knows the right cure!

You must get this book!,
By Kurt A. Johnson (North-Central Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Peanuts Every Sunday
This wonderful collection of Peanuts cartoons was originally published in 1961. It is a collection of four-panel strips that were originally published between 1958 and 1961. Because of the date, Rerun isn't here, but just about all of the other Peanuts stars are - Lucy, Violet, Schroeder, and even baby Sally.As with all of the Peanuts books, this one is absolutely great; a surefire hit with your young ones, and you young-at-hearts. One of the greatest gags running through the book is the war between Linus and Snoopy, where Snoopy's attempts to steal Linus's blanket always leads to hilarity. And, speaking of hilarity, you simply must see Snoopy putting a boxing glove on his nose, and out boxing everyone in the Peanuts gang until he faces that most ornery of Peanuts - Lucy! This is an absolutely wonderful book, one that that my children love, and that I do too. If you can get this book, then do so, because it's great!
