About the author
Charles M. Schulz
3,021 books1,641 followersCharles Monroe Schulz was an American cartoonist, whose comic strip Peanuts proved one of the most popular and influential in the history of the medium, and is still widely reprinted on a daily basis.
Schulz's first regular cartoons, Li'l Folks, were published from 1947 to 1950 by the St. Paul Pioneer Press; he first used the name Charlie Brown for a character there, although he applied the name in four gags to three different boys and one buried in sand. The series also had a dog that looked much like Snoopy. In 1948, Schulz sold a cartoon to The Saturday Evening Post; the first of 17 single-panel cartoons by Schulz that would be published there. In 1948, Schulz tried to have Li'l Folks syndicated through the Newspaper Enterprise Association. Schulz would have been an independent contractor for the syndicate, unheard of in the 1940s, but the deal fell through. Li'l Folks was dropped from the Pioneer Press in January, 1950.
Later that year, Schulz approached the United Feature Syndicate with his best strips from Li'l Folks, and Peanuts made its first appearance on October 2, 1950. The strip became one of the most popular comic strips of all time. He also had a short-lived sports-oriented comic strip called It's Only a Game (1957–1959), but he abandoned it due to the demands of the successful Peanuts. From 1956 to 1965 he contributed a single-panel strip ("Young Pillars") featuring teenagers to Youth, a publication associated with the Church of God.
Peanuts ran for nearly 50 years, almost without interruption; during the life of the strip, Schulz took only one vacation, a five-week break in late 1997. At its peak, Peanuts appeared in more than 2,600 newspapers in 75 countries. Schulz stated that his routine every morning consisted of eating a jelly donut and sitting down to write the day's strip. After coming up with an idea (which he said could take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours), he began drawing it, which took about an hour for dailies and three hours for Sunday strips. He stubbornly refused to hire an inker or letterer, saying that "it would be equivalent to a golfer hiring a man to make his putts for him." In November 1999 Schulz suffered a stroke, and later it was discovered that he had colon cancer that had metastasized. Because of the chemotherapy and the fact he could not read or see clearly, he announced his retirement on December 14, 1999.
Schulz often touched on religious themes in his work, including the classic television cartoon, A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965), which features the character Linus van Pelt quoting the King James Version of the Bible Luke 2:8-14 to explain "what Christmas is all about." In personal interviews Schulz mentioned that Linus represented his spiritual side. Schulz, reared in the Lutheran faith, had been active in the Church of God as a young adult and then later taught Sunday school at a United Methodist Church. In the 1960s, Robert L. Short interpreted certain themes and conversations in Peanuts as being consistent with parts of Christian theology, and used them as illustrations during his lectures about the gospel, as he explained in his bestselling paperback book, The Gospel According to Peanuts, the first of several books he wrote on religion and Peanuts, and other popular culture items. From the late 1980s, however, Schulz described himself in interviews as a "secular humanist": “I do not go to church anymore... I guess you might say I've come around to secular humanism, an obligation I believe all humans have to others and the world we live in.”

I laughed countless times while reading this new collection in the Peanuts comic series by Charles M. Schultz. There are a lot of funny stories in this graphic novel and for me, the best is when Peppermint Patty chose to enroll in obedience school because she's tired of going to normal school. Patty and Marcie's stories and banters in this compilation are my favorite because they are really hilarious.
Of course Snoopy made me laughed too, and Sally and Linus' story is also very entertaining. I have to admit that this is my first time to read this famous Schultz comic series, particularly this from the Peanuts collection. I think everyone should try to check this — I'm 100% sure that it will make you laugh and will leave a smile on your face after you're done reading it.

I grew up with the Peanuts gang. I read the comics and knew all of the TV specials by heart. I loved It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown and watched A Charlie Brown Christmas every year. I have a Peanuts book with black and white comics that I read to death as a kid. While its pages are yellow with age, they’re thankfully all intact. I know I’ll never part with it.
One of the first stuffed toys I ever received was Snoopy and I have photos of me sitting holding it before I was a year old. I still have that Snoopy, although he kind of doesn’t have a nose anymore. It wasn’t me! 😇 Oh, who am I kidding? I’m sure it was me. It’s not like I have any siblings to blame. I even completed a cross stitch as an adult of Lucy sitting at her psychiatry booth, which is as cute and funny as it sounds.
So, that was a long winded way of saying that it basically feels like the Peanuts gang grew up down the road from me, so reading I’m Not Your Sweet Babboo! felt like I was catching up with my childhood friends. I knew a lot of the stories already so they felt like the gang and I were reminiscing about the good ol’ days. I was also excited to find some comic strips I’d never encountered before (I guess I wasn’t home those days and they had adventures without me).
Charles M. Schulz created such a wonderful cast of characters. There are just so many smiles in this book. Peppermint Patty is excited that she doesn’t have to go to school anymore because she’s just graduated. Snoopy is her attorney when the public school wants evidence of her graduation. She has graduated - from dog obedience training. Peppermint Patty and Marcie learn how competitive golf can be when they become caddies at the Country Club. Marcie calls Peppermint Patty ‘sir’ all of the time, as usual.
Snoopy and Woodstock have some talks with ‘World War II’, the mean cat next door, who doesn’t talk so much as bowl Snoopy over every chance it gets. Snoopy also meets the beagle of his dreams, plans his wedding and invites his brother Spike to be his best man.
Charlie Brown waits by the mailbox for Valentines, chats to the kite-eating tree and learns why you can’t trust 3’s. Sally welcomes the new school building, Schroeder plays the piano and Lucy fawns over him, and naturally, Linus and his blanket hang out. I would have liked Franklin and Pig-Pen to show up but I’m sure they’ll make appearances in other collections.
I adored this book, particularly the comic strips that were new to me. Having mostly read black and white Peanuts comics I loved that this collection was in colour. Because these kids were a significant part of my childhood, nostalgia will always play a huge role in how I look at any of the characters but from my point of view Mr Schulz’s characters have stood the test of time.
Thank you so much to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for this wonderful trip down memory lane.

Peanuts is a cartoon ageless that still keep entertaining the readers. Charley Brown the boy whom keep trying against the odds. The superimaginative Snoopy and his adventures, and the way that he is able to manipulate the humans is funny and many times incomprensible to the spectator . Like the way Charlie follow through his wishes, and Peppermint Paty believes he is a lawyer. But overall how he thinks so high of himself and diverge from the tradition - like sleeping over the roof.
This volume have all the main characters: Lucy fighting for more heroines is a surprise; Linus baffled for the affections of the girls; Woodstoock the wingman; Rerun and bycicle rides; Peppermint Patty graduating from school amd Marcie at the edge of patiente (and who knew Frozen maybe got something from her ;P) ; and obtain some chuckles and laughs from me. Is the first time I know the name of the big-bad-cat-next-door (world war heh)
'Peanuts' es simplemente "Snoopy" para la mayoria de los de habla hispana, pues a pesar de su compañero humano y de la canción brasileña tan pegajosa : Eh! Meu amigo Charlie / Eh! Meu amigo Charlie Brown, Charlie Brown , todos sabemos que el singular perro se roba el show.
Aunque las cosas deportivas no son lo mío, conmueve como Charlie es más feliz lejos conociendo a quienes pueden admirarlo (nadie es profeta en su tierra, Charlie Brown)
Oh, about the helicopter, at the end of this volume there is detailed info about it oriented to children. And origami :)

On library check-out day this past week, a student of mine said, “Mrs. Lyon, look! You should read this!” So, I checked it out and it made me laugh. I thought it would have followed a storyline all the way through and I was wrong. I do love the Peanuts!

Happy Monday! To be honest, I was having a bad day yesterday and I can’t think straight, not even to design something. And then I stumbled upon this copy of Peanuts. I thought I called in the night and started reading. Guess what? I got hooked up from beginning until finished. This is my first Peanuts comic. I’m usually not a big fan from Snoopy, but this one sure changes my mind.
This is a very uplifting, chillaxing (chill and relax y’all, like what my cat’s been doing on the couch) and humorous read I’ve ever read! It’s so great that I feel instantly energized and relax. I actually laugh at some of the jokes (never done that before). This is the story that you could relate to, even though you are an adult.
What got me laughing is when Snoopy turns into a helicopter and Linus ask “Is that a helicopter?” It really is a great imagination on how one dog has more personality than the owner. I like the sarcastic attitude of Peppermint Patty. This comic really teaches you how to delve into your imagination and pulled out your inner child. It’s ok to be a kid sometimes, just to gives you time out from the crazy world.

I adored Peanuts comic strips when I was younger! And I loved revisiting these characters today. Peppermint Patty graduating from obedience school, Snoopy fighting with the cat next door, Sally going on a field trip with her sweet babboo, and Charlie Brown fighting with the kite-eating tree, etc. These comics are timeless!
I think my favorite of them all might be Snoopy's new doughnut diet... "You eat four doughnuts at the beginning of the year. Then, if you don't eat anything the rest of the year, you get thin!" :)
Peanuts are a classic and sure to be enjoyed by parents and kids alike.

Charles M. Schulz’s I’m Not Your Sweet Babboo! is a wonderful and adorable full-color collection filled with the adventures of all your favorite Peanuts characters.
I love this collection! It is funny, cute, relatable and classic while still being relevant to life today. All of your favorite characters like Charlie Brown, Sally, Snoopy and Woodstock are here! There are also many familiar things like the kite-eating tree, baseball games, and Sally’s conversations with the school building.
However, there are some strips that I have never seen before like Snoopy being a helicopter pilot and Linus unwittingly ending up in a love triangle. I particularly loved reading about Snoopy’s adventures with the grumpy cat next door, Peppermint Patty signing up for a new school which turns out to be a dog obedience school and poor Charlie Brown is a guard dog stand-in for Peppermint Patty.
Although this book is aimed at children, it’s a timeless classic which is perfect for all ages. It’s an especially great collection for those of us who are long time readers of Peanuts. I’m a huge fan of Charlie Brown and Snoopy and this book didn’t disappoint me at all. The comic strips are familiar, comforting, and easy to read. I really love the puns and the little moments of insight are particularly memorable. I would recommend this book to everyone!

Some enjoyable Peanuts story arcs are included in this collection, including Peppermint Paddy enrolling at a dog obedience school and Snoopy entering a tennis tournament. A star is lost from the review for the portion of Peanut strips that lack a punchline or decent ending.
The book features Woodstock piloting Snoopy like a helicopter, and at the end there is a two or three page fact sheet on helicopters (this is a school book, not aimed at the general population) and a instructions on how to build an origami helicopter.
In one of the strips where Woodstock is flying Snoopy around like a helicopter (Snoopy's ears spin to be the helicopter blades), the "punchline" to the strip is Woodstock learned to fly helicopters in "'Nam". These are the sort of discordant strips that cause it to lose a star (but there is always the "this isn't a funny strip at all" lurking in the background of some of Schultz's work)

“Sweet Babboo” is one of our family’s favorite Peanuts phrases so this was an obvious choice for my first grader at the school Book Fair. He enjoyed reading the comics all on his own and invited me to read them too. I mostly know the Peanuts gang from the cartoon specials and movie so it was fun to read the actual comics! They are lightly humorous, mostly four frame comics, all in color. There is some extra information at the back for young readers about helicopter rescues (based on the comic in which Snoopy’s helicopter rescues Linus from the roof of a barn), instructions for helicopter origami, and a pull-out poster.

Peanuts is a classic comic, by Charles M. Schulz one that is for any age to read and enjoy. I enjoyed reading, 'I'm Not Your Sweet Babboo!', it has some new comics in it and decent reading. Been a life long Peanuts fan, it was one of the first thing, I'd read in the comic section of the daily paper and probably have read just about every paperback release.
Definitely would recommend anyone reading Peanuts, it's one of those classic comic's that for all ages, also would make a great gift and make the perfect addition for your coffee table.

The Peanuts comic strips are always a treat for kids of all ages. You can never read too many of them and you cabin never go wrong with them. Collected here in brilliant color are nearly 200 pages of Peanuts cartoons. Schulz somehow managed with a few pictures, a few squiggles, and perhaps a bit of dialogue to capture so much of the human experience. Filled with daydreams and childhood experiences, these cartoons demonstrate our perceptions of our lives from the schoolroom where the teacher's voice never even appears to the principal's office where Peppermint Patty appears with her lawyer Snoopy to show her Obedience School diploma to the baseball field where nothing seems to work right and how silly we all feel sometimes. And then there are the incredible flights of imagination as Snoopy becomes the Easter Beagle and operates a helicopter rescue service. It's impossible to read these without a huge smile on your face no matter how old you are. Thanks to the publisher for providing a copy for review.

Charlie Brown and his gang are back in full color for the new generation of comics lovers. Kids with deep thoughts and a particular beagle with aspirations of greatness are just as drily funny to read about now as they were 40 years ago. The humor is fresh and Schulz's kids are relatable and funny. A pull-out poster is included.

This is the first collection of Peanuts comics that I’ve read. I have seen some of the comics over the years, and I always watched the holiday specials when I was a kid.
These are cute little comics. Many of them are related, with storylines that take up multiple pages. These stories are still relatable years after they were first written.
Snoopy is one of my favourite characters! I love his commentary. I also love the dynamic between Peppermint Patty and Marcie. I kept laughing when Marcie called her “sir.”
This is a great collection for fans of Peanuts!
I received a copy of this book from the publisher on NetGalley.

Some of the best Peanut's comics strips are in this book, for example Peppermint Patty and Linus against the neighbor's cat. Or the new school and Sally talking to it. The best way to begin the new year!
Alcune delle migliori storie dei Peanuts sono raccolte in questo libro, come per esempio il discorso di Sally alla nuova scuola e Piperita Patty e Snoopy contro il gatto dei vicini. Il modo migliore per cominciare l'anno nuovo!
THANKS NETGALLEY FOR THE PREVIEW!

When I first saw this on NetGalley, I was excited to give it a try. I normally don’t enjoy graphic novels, but I figured since this features The Peanuts and I really enjoyed (and still enjoy, at times) the show/movies, I might enjoy this, as well.
This collection of stories brings the lovable characters in very similar type of situations that they have always had – Sally in love with Linus, Snoopy trying some new thing and acting more human than dog, Peppermint Patty misinterpreting a situation, and so much more. There were plenty of times when I smiled and chuckled. It brought back such a sense of nostalgia that warmed my heart.
One of the aspects that I liked was how outdoor-oriented the characters were. Charlie Brown took charge of a baseball team, children skated, Peppermint Patty made a snowman, Snoopy played tennis, etc. This is such a positive spin on what children can do outside the school hours instead of just watching television. There was a bit of TV watching with one character, but it definitely wasn’t the focus.
On the other hand, there was a fair number of violence and relationship issues throughout, which can be problematic for children. There were several moments of punching, fighting, calling someone “stupid”, and anger that I was surprised about. Maybe I ignored these scenes while growing up, but I didn’t enjoy them now. Also, there were two girls “fighting” over the affection and love for a boy, claiming it’s love. This rubbed me the wrong way; it doesn’t really show anything positive about relationships, which these characters are far too young for anyway. It just seemed inorganic in a children’s comic strip and unnecessary.
The only other issue I have was the jumpiness of the collection. I don’t know if it’s the copy I received, but when a scene switched, there wasn’t a clear transition and everything just seemed so choppy. It would have been better if there was a clear break in between storylines, and perhaps if the storylines weren’t as quick.
Overall, it was nice revisiting The Peanuts, but it didn’t hold up to what I pictured them to be. I would recommend this collection to those who have enjoyed the Peanuts, and caution parents with children about the violence included.

This collection of stories brings the lovable characters in very similar type of situations that they have always had – Sally in love with Linus, Snoopy trying some new thing and acting more human than dog, Peppermint Patty misinterpreting a situation, and so much more. There were plenty of times when I smiled and chuckled. It brought back such a sense of nostalgia that warmed my heart.
One of the aspects that I liked was how outdoor-oriented the characters were. Charlie Brown took charge of a baseball team, children skated, Peppermint Patty made a snowman, Snoopy played tennis, etc. This is such a positive spin on what children can do outside the school hours instead of just watching television. There was a bit of TV watching with one character, but it definitely wasn’t the focus.
On the other hand, there was a fair number of violence and relationship issues throughout, which can be problematic for children. There were several moments of punching, fighting, calling someone “stupid”, and anger that I was surprised about. Maybe I ignored these scenes while growing up, but I didn’t enjoy them now. Also, there were two girls “fighting” over the affection and love for a boy, claiming it’s love. This rubbed me the wrong way; it doesn’t really show anything positive about relationships, which these characters are far too young for anyway. It just seemed inorganic in a children’s comic strip and unnecessary.
The only other issue I have was the jumpiness of the collection. I don’t know if it’s the copy I received, but when a scene switched, there wasn’t a clear transition and everything just seemed so choppy. It would have been better if there was a clear break in between storylines, and perhaps if the storylines weren’t as quick.

Back in my younger days in middle grades and high school and even for a few years beyond, I simply adored the comic strips featuring Garfield, a lasagna-loving cat, and these Peanuts strips featuring Charlie Brown and his unique dog, Snoopy. Perhaps I was drawn to the strips and the compilations of strips that I collected because Charlie Brown just never seemed able to win or perhaps it was his philosophical musings that drew me or maybe I loved the fact that Snoopy was a writer, something I aspired to be. Maybe they simply made me laugh because they captured life and school with little intrusion from adults so effectively. For whatever reasons, I enjoyed them a great deal, and was delighted when this collection or previously-published strips arrived in my mailbox. I worried that the strips might have lost their appeal as I opened the book, but no, they still made me smile even while Peppermint Patty heads to obedience school, Charlie Brown takes a chomp out of the tree that always catches his kite in the spring, and Snoopy wages a losing war against the neighbor's cat. All of the characters that charmed me in my youth, even Woodstock, are here, and they brought a much-needed bright spot to my day. Although the creator's signature is on each strip, the original publications dates have not been included, something that I like to see in order to provide context for the strips and the characters and to ruminate on in what ways, if any, they are changing. It might have been interesting to include some back matter about how the strips were chosen and compiled in addition to the extra activities featuring information on helicopters and origami. There's even a poster included. It looks as though I'll have to search out more of these books to keep myself smiling. Modern audiences may wince at the lack of cell phones and other tech toys, but it felt good to return to this age of relative innocence.

Kids today may not have been introduced to Snoopy and the rest of the Peanuts gang the way we oldsters were, through the daily cartoons in the newspaper. So now, publisher Andrews McMeel is bringing the whole gang back, in short books that today's kids can enjoy. In the latest one, I'm Not Your Sweet Babboo!, the whole cast of kids and animals gather to learn and teach us all about love, the importance of education, history, and the environment.
When Peppermint Patty struggles in school, she tries to find a private school that will better fit her interests. Snoopy helps her find one, the Ace Obedience School, and even though she finishes and gets her diploma, her old elementary school still insists she come back to class. Meanwhile, the EPA is coming after Charlie Brown for biting the kite-eating tree and Snoopy is in a mixed doubles tennis tournament with tennis phenom Molly Volley.
And in keeping with the modern #MeToo movement, both Schroeder and Linus find ways to let the girls in their lives know where they stand in the relationship.
Last but not least, Snoopy has grand adventures teasing the cat next door, falling in love, and finding work as a helicopter. And to go along with his adventures, there is bonus information on real helicopters and a project--how to make your own origami helicopter. It's not the same as having the O.B. (Original Beagle) to fly you around, but it's a great jump start for the imagination.
I'm Not Your Sweet Babboo! is targeted to middle graders, but it's perfect for the child in us all. It's the perfect introduction of the Peanute gang for today's kids and a fun reminder for those of us who have to settle on being kids at heart. Just as that pitcher's mound calls to Charlie Brown in the spring, so too do the Peanuts gang call to us all, to remember everything there is to love about a beagle.
Galleys for I'm Not Your Sweet Babboo! were provided by Andrews McMeel through NetGalley, with many thanks.

*I received a copy of this ebook from Netgalley for an honest review.
Charles M. Schultz brilliance shines yet again in this comic collection for kids, "I'm Not Your Sweet Baboo." The book contains comics that span all four seasons that kids and adults can relate to that include holidays like Christmas and Valentines day. How many of us remember being afraid of not receiving a valentine like Charlie Brown? Schultz comics are timeless and when put in small volumes for kids like this one gives them something to see themselves in and know its okay to laugh at their mistakes. Nothing was more poignant in this edition than Charlie Brown trying to escape his problem with the Environmental Protection Agency. Seeing Charlie Brown overcome this problem shows children that its alright to make mistakes and more importantly that you can learn from them. This collection also includes things like Peppermint Patty's unwillingness to read a book, Linus' harrowing farm adventure, and Snoopy's Wedding. Each comic is catered to children and things they can relate to, laugh at, and learn from. Schultz shows that humor and imagination are great for personal growth in this volume. This collection is put together thoughtfully and in a way that speaks to children. It even includes a lesson on how helicopters work in the back that relates to Linus' mishaps at the farm and mentions author's purpose in a section about reading. This book is a win, my only complaint, is that I wish there would have been some demarcation between the larger stories or other separation to provide breaks between some of the comics. Not having these breaks interrupted the flow. Overall, it was very well done and I look forward to reading more of Schultz's collections for kids.

Goodreads Synopsis:
Pick up a glass of milk, curl up with your security blanket, and enjoy the timeless brilliance of Peanuts in this new collection of comic strips!
Everyone’s favorite classic characters are back: Peppermint Patty enrolls in a private school to end her academic troubles—only to discover she’s just graduated from obedience school. Linus finds himself entangled in a love triangle (and stuck on top of a snow-covered roof). And Charlie Brown runs away from the law and becomes a vagrant baseball coach.
The Peanuts crew is lovable, popular, and charming, but please whatever you do, don’t call Linus “My Sweet Babboo!”
My Review:
Let me start off by saying this is a short book, so this will be a short review. This book is wholesome and reminds me of the holidays, watching Charlie Brown cartoons. I loved every bit of it, and am really glad I got the chance to read it. The cartoons are classic Charlie Brown, exactly what you would expect, witty and silly. Peppermint Patty joins an obedience school, Marcie forgets to do her homework, Sally doesn't trust three's and talks to the new school, Snoopy tries to meet girls, Charlie brown bites a tree, and tons of other little stories. At one hundred and seventy eight pages it's not a super long read, I finished it in one sitting, and I really enjoyed it. Definitely check it out if you get the chance.
Here's a link to the book on Amazon.

DESCRIPTION:
In “I’m Not Your Sweet Babboo!, ” an endearing collection of strips from 1983, Sally tries harder than ever to convince Linus that he is indeed her sweetie. But when Linus fails to come through with candy and flowers on Valentine’s Day, Sally forces Charlie Brown to punch his best friend, Linnus, in the nose, and hits Lucy instead! Meanwhile, Charlie Brown has his own problems of the heart, as both Peppermint Patty and Marcie write love letters to him from summer camp.
MY THOUGHTS:
My brothers and I grew up with Charlie Brown. “Charlie Brown’s Christmas Tree” and “It’s The Great Pumpkin Patch, Charlie Brown” were memorable stories that we loved dearly. All the characters, Linus, Lucy, Charlie Brown, Peppermint Patty, Schroeder, Sally, Marcie, Linus, Truffles, Ruby, Austin, Snoopy, Woodstock. The only one I couldn’t find was Pig-Pen… Anyway, this book is filled will wonderful clips in cartoon format filled with laughs and great memories.
Schulz created well-rounded fully developed characters with unique personalities, friendships and quirks. I’m keeping this book on my shelf to bring out when I need a pick-me-up! Beautiful cover on it with Sally and Linus (Sally loves Linus, but it’s not mutual). I’ll link where you can pick up this book. I found this particular cover was not that easy to find. A great edition to any collection!

First off I’d like to thank Netgalley, the author and of course the publisher, for allowing me to read this book in exchange for my honest review.
I grew up loving the Peanuts Gang, I read their comic strips religiously, had their coloring books, and watched all the specials on T.V. When I became a parent I introduced them to my children, I mean how could you not love the gang. My favorite has always been Snoopy, always has and always will.
In this collection of the peanuts there are colored comic strips, which just bring back so many memories for me. There were two characters not in the book, Pig Pen and Franklin. I know they weren’t in every comic strip, but they were however in all the television special.
The kids all still look the same in the strip, but they do seem to of grown-up some. Peppermint Patty is still very much an abrasive character, and when I say abrasive I do say it with love. Linus still carries his blanket, I can’t blame him, and I still love all my blankets.
Peppermint Patty does seem to have the spotlight in most of the book, and I’m ok with it, I really wouldn’t mind more books to come and put a different character in the fore front.
I adore the fact this has came out for a new generation to love.

I'm Not Your Sweet Babboo! is a delightful collection of comic strips featuring the beloved gang. As always, Schulz’s wit and humor shine, especially in the ongoing dynamic between Sally and Linus—the inspiration for the book’s title. Sally’s relentless (and hilarious) pursuit of Linus, who desperately insists he is *not* her "Sweet Babboo," is a highlight that never gets old.
Beyond their banter, the collection includes plenty of classic *Peanuts* moments—Charlie Brown’s eternal struggles, Snoopy’s vivid imagination, and Lucy’s sharp-tongued wisdom. Schulz’s ability to blend lighthearted fun with deeper, often bittersweet themes makes this another strong entry in the *Peanuts* universe.
The only reason for four stars instead of five? While the strips are consistently charming, some feel like familiar ground for longtime fans. However, for anyone who loves *Peanuts*, this book is a wonderful addition to the collection. Schulz’s timeless humor and endearing characters make *I'm Not Your Sweet Babboo!* a joy to read.

I don’t have to describe Peanuts to you, do I? Of course not. So I’ll just mention some of my fave jokes.
The book starts with Sally talking to a building. . . and the building thinking, if not talking back, the same way Snoopy does. So all is normal.
Peppermint Patty enrolls in dog obedience school. That’ll end well. At least that’s different than the usual fare.
There’s a cat called World War II.
It’s a really good friend who holds your head after your grandfather tells you that reading too much will make your head fall off.
There’s an almost-Goth girl named Truffles.
Snoopy’s not a rescue pilot, he’s the actual chopper. Woodstock is the pilot.
Tree-biting is a thing not limited to woodpeckers.
Bunny-print needlepoint is the thing to do when on guard duty.
The Beagle has landed!
Ends with fun facts about helicopters, with some heavy scientific explanations. Even shows how to make one. . . out of paper, that is.

In this collection of fully colorized Peanuts cartoons, we find Snoopy getting married, Peppermint Patty graduating from school, Snoopy doing a double Tennis tournament, Charlie Brown running away and many other story lines.
I have to say I really loved some of these stories, I was truly laughing about the Peppermint Patty going to “Private” school story line. I was also impressed with all the comics being fully colored in, while many of the collections like this aren’t.
However I have to say I am really disappointed with all these books being printed in China now so I’m going to subtract a point for that. It will eventually be available digitally and will have DRM if any of the other Peanuts collections are an example. So to me, it’s a double whammy of major negatives. -2 points for being printed in China and DRM.

'I'm Not Your Sweet Babboo!' by Charles M. Schulz is the 10th volume in the Peanuts AMP series.
This time around Patty can't concentrate at school and wants to go to a private school. Snoopy directs her to a dog obedience school, then gets in trouble. There are antics with the cat next door. Snoopy decides to get married, and Charlie Brown finds a team of little baseball players to coach that have never heard of him.
Sometimes these collections can feel a bit dated with the humor, but this one felt pretty fun and fresh. You can't go wrong with Peanuts.

I'm Not Your Sweet Babboo collects a fun cross sections of Peanuts stories including Peppermint Patty going to dog obedience school and Linus being fought over by two girls. These comics are timeless and still funny. The book includes additional learning material and activities in the back to make it fun and educational.
My biggest problem is that it cuts apart the strip format and lines up the two boxes on top of each other This reduces the impact of a strip comic and slows down the reading time. I really don't like this is the new trend, splitting up the comic "strips."
I received an ARC from NetGalley; all opinions are my own.
