This October marks the sixty-fifth anniversary of Charles Schulz’s Peanuts<\/i>, and the following month we’ve see the release of the first Peanuts<\/i> movie in thirty years<\/a>. I’ve noticed this year that there’s a concerted effort at releasing Peanuts<\/i> books and collections, probably to both tie in with the anniversary and the upcoming film.<\/p>\n

One such book is Simon Spotlight’s Meet the Peanuts Gang!<\/i>, released last week. If you’re a little kid just discovering who the Peanuts<\/i> characters are or a parent who wants to introduce your children to Schulz’s Peanuts<\/i>, this book is a good place to start. It’s a ninety-six page book, in full color, with a dozen chapters, each one profiling one of the major Peanuts<\/i> characters with a short bio, some details about the character, a couple of strips that illustrate the character’s personality, and a quote from Charles Schulz about the character.<\/p>\n

It’s a cute book with a lovely presentation, though it’s not for me, the fortysomething Peanuts<\/i> fan who has all the volumes of Fantagraphics’ The Complete Peanuts<\/i> published thus far. But it does fill a role, for the child who’s just meeting the Peanuts<\/i> gang for the first time. That’s who Meet the Peanuts Gang!<\/i> is for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
