It's an old Snoopy book from my childhood. My 4 year old son loves it. We only wish that Charles Schulz would have written more like it. We keep wondering when and if Snoopy ever will get that Red Baron.

Of all of the characters and storylines of the "Peanuts" comic strip, the "battles" between Snoopy and the Red Baron are the best. A very popular song was even made based on that premise. A continuous storyline based on that idea is presented in this book and packaged for elementary school children as part of the Weekly Reader program. I would be hard pressed to come up with a better subject for the program.
Snoopy is a character that children easily relate to and the text and illustrations will keep their interest. If reading programs for young people are to succeed, the children have to want to read and this is something that they will want to read. I strongly recommend it.

That daring WWI fighter ace Snoopy tangles with the dastardly Red Baron during heroic missions. He can never quite get the slippery scarlet flyer though.

I love this book. Snoopy makes a great aviator, and he knows that real world war I flying aces don't say "Nyah, nyah, nyah," and he says it anyway. Snoopy's fight against the Red Baron is one that I'd never want to miss! Way to go, Snoopy!
