Enjoy the Peanuts gang in another collection of cartoons especially selected for middle-grade readers.

Snoopy is one small dog with one huge imagination! From day to day, he can be found stalking the other Peanuts characters as a fierce ready-to-prey vulture, leopard, mountain lion, piranha, or creature from the sea. But his grandest flights of fancy are when he’s airborne as the Flying Ace on his Sopwith Camel seeking out the evil Red Baron. His forays take him through the World War I French countryside in repeated attempts to achieve his quest. In Snoopy: Contact!, enjoy his adventures along with his other unusual encounters: catching bird burglars stealing his Van Gogh, challenging Lucy to an arm-wrestling contest, and becoming the Cheshire beagle.

This is an amazing collection of the adventures of Snoopy, the cute little beagle with a huge imagination.

I really loved Snoopy and the whole Peanuts gang when growing up, the TV show was amazing and it always made me laugh. Reading this, I felt like I was a child again, it brought back so many memories and made me feel so nostalgic.

It's great to see all these amazing characters he liked to play when being on his adventures, the best of all being The World War I Flying Ace with his Sopwith Camel, in his never-ending battle against The Red Baron. That's actually the one we see the most of in this collection.


And, even though Snoopy is the big star of this comic, Charlie Brown and his friends make it as memorable with their everyday struggles. I used to love Charlie Brown as much as I loved Snoopy, and it's funny that, now that I'm all grown up, I can relate more to his problems and identify with him. Little Chuck is a fighter.

We also get to see a lot of Lucy, Peppermint Patty, Linus, Schroeder and all the others, even little Woodstock, going on their own adventures like visiting a pumpkin patch and waiting for The Great Pumpkin, or even putting up a booth to provide psychiatric help for the other children.

This is a very entertaining read for people of any age, especially if you grew up watching the show or reading the comic strips.

Thank you for reading! Bye-Bye! ♥

  3. I never read or watched Snoopy as a child which is quite saddening really! I actually missed out on a lot more during my childhood than I thought, although I did have a lot of god things too :D But it is so much fun when we read books we previously grew up with and get to enjoy them all over again because it bring everything back. So glad this one did that for you!

    2. Snoopy definitely brings back a lot of childhood memories! I'm sure it's different to read these as an adult, too - there's almost always a second layer to stories that seem to be made for children.

  4. I love Snoopy! I used to have almost all the paperback books but had to part with them because of a lack of space. I've always been tempted by the hardback anthology volumes though...
