Charlie Brown Books for the New Year!  (For Families!)

Charlie Brown and his friends are embarking on NEW adventures!

I admit.  While I loved Peanuts, I was not a HUGE ‘Chuck’ fan.  I gravitated towards Linus for his dreamy way of thinking to his insightful yet childish interpretations of the world.  Plus, he had a BLANKET.  That was pretty Boss for a kid to not care about hanging out with their ‘lovey’ despite his sister’s taunts.  Yeah, so Charlie Brown was like the Eeyore of the Peanuts gang to me.

But, these VERY interesting new Fall Books caught me by surprise.  They are touching.  They are educational.  They are FUN.  They are also perfect for the New Year and learning how to help, enlighten and educate each other.  Very cool!

About Charles M. Schulz:  Charles M. Schulz (November 26, 1922 – February 12, 2000), nicknamed Sparky to his close friends, was born in Minneapolis, MN and created one of the most loved comic strips in history, Peanuts.  Charles loved to draw, especially pictures of his favorite dog, Spike, growing up.  Although timid and shy as a child, he did try to submit his drawing to his high school newspaper, which they rejected!  Ha!  He was drafted into the Army in 1943 and after being discharged in 1945, he returned to MN as an art teacher.  His first comic strip (Li’l Folks) was published in the St. Paul Pioneer Press and Peanuts (which has a lot of parallels to his own life) made its first appearance on October 2, 1950 with the United Feature Syndicate.
