Peanuts comics never seem to get old. Charles Schulz's comics are timeless, classic, and consistently funny. Schulz, sadly, is no longer around to write new comic strips, but thankfully publishers continue to publish new collections. Kids who don't have the pleasure of reading new Peanuts strips in the Sunday paper can enjoy books like I'm Not Your Sweet Babboo!
In this collection Snoopy battles with the neighbor cat, Peppermint Patti enrolls in dog obedience school, Snoopy rescues Linus from the top of a barn, and Sally makes some memorable class presentations. I was surprised at a few more grown-up themes, like when Snoopy's bride-to-be runs off with his brother, and when Charlie Brown leaves home to hide out from the EPA. (They were after him because he took a bit out of the kite-eating tree.)
Kids of all ages will love these comic strips, as they have for generations. Schulz was one-of-a-kind and his work simply doesn't get old.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the complimentary electronic review copy!
