This is the eigth Peanuts reprint book. This book contains strips from 1958-64. Published by Holt, Rinehart And Winston.

This newly re-released version of classic Peanuts fare is entitled "We're Right Behind You, Charlie Brown", and it does indeed deliver all it advertises. This is great stuff, culled from a time when all of us growing up in the sixties were slavishly devoted to what Linus, Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Lucy and Schroeder did and said from stripo to strip. Schulz showboats his best baseball segments, leaving one wondering as to how gullible good old Charlie Brown can be. Yet, at the same time it is not a book devoted to one set of segments at all. Instead, it sulls the very best oand most classic of the strips, and gives them the full articulation they deserve.

I spent some time on this book reading it to my friend's grand daughter, and she really loves Snoopy. Of course, we happened to have my daughter's bassett hound laying down next to us on the couch as we read! Now she looks at him with greater respect and devotion.Hahaha. At any rate, all your favorite Peanuts characters are here, unresolved existential doubts and all, and their manifest insecurities are showing. It is great fun, and greatly nostalgic for those of us who remember when these comic strips originally ran. Enjoy!

"We're Right Behind You Charlie Brown" was a REALLY GOOD BOOK! Even though it is just comics it is still good. I like how Snoopy makes those weird faces, and scares Linus. And Linus' hair stands up! There are about 100 comics in the book. Also, I found one comic to be really funny, it is when Snoopy is acting like a vulture in a tree and pounces on Linus. Snoopy is the funniest character. This Peanuts book makes me laugh. If someone just LOOKED at the pictures they would giggle for sure!

This was the very first Peanuts Sunday collection I read, many years ago. It's packed with golden oldies from the sixties. Only complaint: why they didn't know anything of chronological order, then?
