“Schulz’s masterpiece remains . . . relevant and funny for all ages generation after generation.” —Good Comics for Kids, a School Library Journal Blog
Charles M. Schulz
From his earliest memories, Charles M. Schulz knew that all he wanted to do was “draw funny pictures.” Schulz was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 1922, and his love for cartoons was fostered by his father in a shared appreciation for the Sunday funnies. As a senior in high school, at the prompting of his mother, he completed a correspondence cartoon course with the Federal School of Applied Cartooning. Schulz continued his studies in art as the genre of the cartoon began to change—adopting simplistic, minimalistic styles that, conveniently, allowed Schulz to showcase his dry, self-effacing humor. In 1943 Schulz enlisted in the army to help the American efforts in World War II, ultimately returning home in the fall of 1945. In a push to make his dream of being a cartoonist a reality, he taught at his alma mater and sold cartoon strips to papers intermittently. Finally, in October 1950, the first Peanuts strip premiered in seven national newspapers. His seemingly simple creation—illustrations of large-headed kids using vocabulary and facing situations far beyond their years—became a well-known, well-loved comic strip and grew to have an enormous global impact. Schulz himself has won awards from his cartoonist peers, has been recognized and lauded by U.S. and foreign governments, and has received Emmys for his animated specials. In 2015 the beloved holiday TV special—A Charlie Brown Christmas—will reach its fifty-year milestone. Though the last original Peanuts comic appeared in papers on February 13, 2000, the day after Schulz passed away in his sleep, his work continues to be read in more than two thousand newspapers around the world.

Reviews for Snoopy
30 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is the most quotable Peanuts book I've ever read. My favorite one is "Until it is demonstrated, one forgets the really great difference that exists between the merely competent amateur and the very expert professional". The title book is not about Snoopy partying all the time but is does show how much fun he has. The best parts are when you see him having fun with others and bringing joy to those around him. This is a great book for anyone to read.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a series of comics starring Snoopy and his friends. Lots of fun going on during all seasons. Of course there are many strips involving Supper time, Snow, Linus and his blanket and Charlie Brown with his exploits with the football and his kite. Freida makes several appearances with her boneless cat. I do not remember her from the comics in the newspaper, but they were entertaining strips. This is a great collection for all fans of Snoopy and the Peanuts Gang. At the end there are a couple of activities to do to prepare for a Snoopy Party. I enjoyed this book, it is for all ages!
I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5If you're a fan of Snoopy and friends then you can't go wrong with this collection of comic strips. Always a fun way to pass the time!
Thank you to Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for an ARC.
