I will admit to being a somewhat casual reader of comic strips. I have a
few favorites I follow regularly, but around the holidays such as
Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas is really when I sit down and
read a lot of newspaper strips. I guess I just love seeing how they
celebrate the holidays and their usually quite funny. This collection of Peanuts strips is all about Halloween as Charlie and
the gang go trick-or-treating, have parties, and dress up for the
season. It is not a complete collection of all of Schulz strips to be
sure, but it is a nice, representative gathering of material culled from
over the years. also included throughout is mostly forgettable tips for
throwing parties, decorating, and recipes. None of it worth much and I
would have preferred to see more comics and some in color as opposed to
that stuff. all in all a nice collection. I highly recommend this children's book, especially for any die-hard Peanuts fan.
It was wonderful to see how Snoopy, Charlie Brown and the gang changed
over time. And I happen to like Schulz's humor better when he first
started writing and drawing; it was more childlike. The comics are Halloween and monster themed and some of them are
hilarious, ones I have not seen in a long time. Of course there is lots
about "The Great Pumpkin" but how could it be coming Halloween and Linus
does not mention him! Read it and enjoy. Good old fashioned comics and humor! This Halloween kids book is for children reading levels ages 4-8.
