Charlie Brown was my absolute favorite growing up and still is to this day. There is not a holiday episode I have missed and I am slowly collecting all the books. I remember watching each episode each year with my mom and it is now one of our traditions. This story is about Charlie Brown during Valentines day and each of his classmates passing out valentines and getting each other presents. Another year comes by that Charlie Brown does not get a single valentine. The next day Violet mentioned that she felt guilty that Charlie did not get a single valentine so she erased her name on one that she had gotten and gave it to him. Additionally in the story Linus wanted to make his teacher his valentine but she did not pay any attention to him show more so both Linus and Charlie were disappointed in the end about valentines day although Charlie Brown was somewhat elated about his one valentine. I never understood as a child why everyone was so mean to poor Charlie Brown and I still do not. Every time I watch an episode or read one of the Charlie Brown books I want to help him and be his friends. So I believe the overall message of the text is look out for each person you know. Everyone deserves love on valentines day because it is a day to share love. show less
This book was purchased for me in grade school through those wonderful Scholastic Book orders we had back in the 1970s. A huge Snoopy fan, this has been one of my favorites for a long time and I'm happy it is still here to share with my children. My absolute favorite part is when Snoopy makes his elaborate paper valentine - that dog is so talented.
This is a great story that allows readers to step into Valentine's day and how it is at school. The world of Charlie Brown and all of his friends are shown as they go through school and the friendship they have there.
This book is about Charile Brown and the peanuts gang.
On Charlie Brown's first Valentine's Day at school and he didn't get any Valentines. Very Cute book teaching kids that even if someone is not your favorite they still have feelings.
