A Little Pick-Me-Up

Overall, I enjoyed this book. I love the Peanuts characters, so anything that has to do with them I have it. This book is a great pick-me-up for when you've had a bad day or just need a Peanuts fix. I recommend this book for any Peanuts fan or someone who wants a little joy in their life. The Peanuts gang offers some enjoyable insight on various topics.

Brief but powerful...kinda

I love Peanuts. This is a brief collection of one-frame wisdoms. Thought-provoking. Don't have too high expectations, but it is still enjoyable.

Good, but a little pricey

Title pretty much says it. I thought it was a little pricey for what we got (would have preferred paperback for lower price), but I did enjoy reading it. I recommend it. ach set of two facing pages has a quote and a one-scene cartoon. Forward is by Bill Cosby. Groupings of quotes are Life Philosophy, Confidence, Self Care, Self Reliance, People Shills, Prudence, Wisdom, Effort, Love and Little Quirks.

Another Charles Schulz Favorite

I love this book. I still smile even at my age when I go through the pages.

A compilation drawn from more than fifty years of the cast of cartoon characters created by the late

The Peanuts Guide To Life: Wit And Wisdom From The World's Favorite Cartoon Characters is a compilation drawn from more than fifty years of the cast of cartoon characters created by the late Charles Schultz. The focus is on bringing back to the attention of Peanuts fans a nostalgic look at the philosophy and insights so deftly revealed in the humor of small children and their observances on and about each other and the world in which they existed. The Peanuts Guide To Life will also admirably serve to introduce a whole new generation to the lively humor and pity quotes that were a large part of the newspaper cartoon strip's enduring popularity. A quick and easy read that is often inspired and occasionally inspiring, we are once again reminded of such clever truism as "Baby-sitters are like used cares...you never know what you're getting." and such earthy advice as "Never lick ice cream off a hot sidewalk." The Peanuts Guide To Life should be on the shelves of every community library in the country -- if only as a public and much appreciated service to the new generation of kids who will one day grow up to be parents with kids of their own!
