Uh oh!
What do you do when your dog is acting outrageously? If you happen to be Charlie Brown, you write a letter to the puppy farm you got your dog from and send him back for a bit of obedience training. When Charlie Brown does just that, Snoopy decides a bit of school isn't in the cards for this World War I flying ace. An overnight stay at Peppermint Patty's on the way to Daisy Hill turns into something a bit longer... and longer... and longer . Patty, tired of Snoopy taking advantage of her good nature, decides to turn the tables on this feisty dog and a good lesson is learned.
Peanuts comics never get old for me, and these little booklets are some of the best. Snoopy's sassy behavior truly mirrors the fox terrier he was based on, and show more nothing can quash the fond memories of these animated specials in my mind.
Gosh, I miss Sparky. show less

Unlike the Peanuts comic strip, that has humor adults can enjoy, this small book is strictly for the children.
Snoopy has been acting up, and the neighborhood kids demand that Charlie Brown do something. So Charlie Brown decides to send Snoopy back to the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm where he can "learn a little discipline." Snoopy winds up at Peppermint Patty's, who puts him to work washing dishes and windows, mowing the lawn, and taking out the trash. When he gets careless and breaks a dish, PP banishes him to the garage. Snoopy is glad to escape back home, presumably having learned his lesson.
To readers familiar with "Peanuts," this plot will sound incompatible with the comic strip. In fact, this little book is taken from an animated "TV show more special" (attributed to Charles Schultz). One redeeming feature is that the drawings are printed entirely in color. Most readers of Peanuts will want to stick with the subtle humor of the comic strips. show less

Telegraphs its punches, relies on an existing store of goodwill toward the characters.
Charlie Brown and Snoopy. How can you go wrong? These characters are timeless and nothing is dated in the humor.

Charles Monroe Schulz, creator of the Peanuts comic strip, was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota on November 26, 1922. He started drawing at a young age, practicing with popular characters such as Popeye. When he was 15, one of his pictures appeared as an illustration in "Ripley's Believe It or Not!" He took a correspondence course with Art show more Instruction Inc., where he later taught, and served in the Army during World War II. The Peanuts (originally called Li'l Folks, a name that was changed by the United Feature Syndicate) began syndication on October 2, 1950, when it appeared in seven newspapers. Schulz's work went on to become the most popular syndicated comic strip of all time, appearing in 2600 papers in 75 countries around the world. Schulz drew everyone of the more than 18,250 Peanuts strips himself and his contract stipulated that no one else would ever draw them. Charlie Brown, Snoopy and the rest of the Peanuts Gang also appear in a number of television specials, the first of which was A Charlie Brown Christmas (1964), created with animator Bill Melendez. It is one of the most watched and best loved television shows in history and winner of an Emmy and a Peabody. Charles Schulz has been inducted into the Cartoonists Hall of Fame and won numerous awards. He was given Reuben Awards by the National Cartoonists Society in 1955 and 1964, the Yale Humor Award (1956), the School Bell Award from the National Education Society (1960), and the Ordre des Artes et des Lettres from the French Ministry of Culture. In 1990, his work was shown at the Louvre. Schulz retired after being diagnosed with colon cancer.
