I really enjoy the comic strips that Charles M. Schulz does so it is nice to see that he makes kid books too. I enjoyed this book a lot even though it was a children's book. I like what style he was writing in it makes it very easy to figure out what he is trying to talk about.
This book shows a lot about how friends should treat each other. Charles M. Schulz was trying to teach kids a valuable lesson on how you should treat you friends, and how you should always stick up for them. Whenever a friend is in need you should always bee there for them like in the part where snoopy was in the movie theater and all of his friends stood up for him.
The setting is taking place mostly at Charlie Brown's house. It is also taken place in the outside environment for most of the book.
Friends shouldn't be taken for granted, that is the main point of this story book. I like how this book also shows how friends can sometimes let you down, because it shows even good friends can still be inconsiderate of you. Snoopy and Charlie Brown are best friends and understand each other, which is what every friendship should have. They would do anything for each other, which I think is a very good thing to have in a friendship.
This book I would recommend to younger children, it is a very easy read for children and it also has an important lesson that is taught. The setting is mostly just where snoopy and all his friends are, which is always changing throughout the book.
I love Peanuts, so I thought this might be a fun way to help my kids get to know Snoopy and the gang. The pictures were nicely done and matched well with traditional Peanuts. But the text, the story, wasn't quite there. For example, it just doesn't work for me to have Charlie Brown and Snoopy talk back and forth.
12/09: This one uses Peanuts cartoons and fleshes them out to make the following points: Come rain or come shine, friends are always there when you need them; Friends stick together; Friends always take care of one another, Friends always stick up for one another; Sometimes friends disappoint you; Friends share; Friends help one another, and Friends understand one another.
