This review is from: Take A Hike, Snoopy! (Paperback)

This Ready-to-Read "Peanuts" book focuses on Snoops as the world-famous Beagle Scout who leads Woodstock and his friends into the wilderness. Young readers get to follow this intrepid group as they hike through the woods, endure thunderstorms, cross tall grass and high bridges, all while Charlie Brown worries about Snoopy and Lucy comments on his strange pet. Snoopy tries to be a good leader, but his plans do not go well. You know how you can tell? Because there are two pages in the entire story where Snoopy has his "cool" eyes; those are where they are just diagonal slits. There is one early on and one at the end, but in between there are few moments when Snoopy is really in control.

"Take a Hike, Snoopy!" is based on the comic strips of Charles M. Schulz, adapted by Judy Katschke with art by Nick and Peter LoBianco (who have really gotten good at doing the "Peanuts" gang). This is a Level 2 book, which stresses reading independently (I have yet to see a "Peanuts" book that is not a Level 2 reader) by challenging readers with more-complex stories and varied sentence structure. There is also an episodic nature to the book that comes from adapting four panel daily comic strips. Clearly "Peanuts" is well suited for this task.
