Get ready to celebrate your inner kid as you enjoy this collection of timeless classic comic strips.
The Peanuts gang comes alive once again in this brand new republished collection. All your favourite characters are here including Charlie, Sally, Lucy, Linus, Snoopy, Woodstock, Patty, Marcie and Schroeder.
All the best things everyone loves about Peanuts are in these strips including: football and baseball, the Kite-Eating tree, the blanket, the psychiatry booth, the doghouse, "oh, good grief", don't call me "sir", and especially don't call me" your sweet babboo."
This collection will have everyone in stitches while reliving their childhood.
You will not be able to hold back your chuckles regardless of your age. This collection is like riding on a nostalgic wave and is truly a treat for everyone young and old and especially for all fans of Peanuts.
Thank you very much to the publisher for providing me with a copy of the ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I own Peanuts collections, but I have never read any of the comics compiled in this book.

There is not a lot to say about Peanuts that is not already known. The characters are great, and I liked being able to see them in new situations. Anyone who enjoys Peanuts should read this collection. Most likely, you will read Peanuts comics you haven't read before, or at least, haven't read in a while.

Time with the Peanuts gang is always welcome. Charles Schulz is wry and funny. A book that readers of all ages can enjoy, whether you read these with nostalgia or are new to his comic strip. A classic!

Who never heard of ‘Peanuts‘? The comic by Charles M.Schulz has a long and rich history of short comics.
This book isn’t any different from all those other books in the series, it’s funny, to the point and sometimes heart breaking. You got to love it. The kind of book you’ve got to browse when you see it laying around and have some minutes to spare.

Timeless, classic!

A big thank you to NetGalley for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. I got this on a whim. It is for me a blast from the past and more carefree days. I loved it, and was happy to see it in color. Great for the next generation. As always it's fun, and sad at the same time. I would recommend to everyone.

I'm pretty sure that anyone who has never enjoyed a Peanuts comic is actually a monster. This is an adorable collection that features the whole gang in pretty equal parts, which was great. Most of the ones I've read have focused on Charlie Brown himself but it's much more fun to see them all with their unique personalities and antics. Of course, as always, Peanuts is just good, clean fun.

I would like to thank the publisher, author, and Netgalley for providing me with a copy in exchange for an honest review.

Thanks to netgalley.com and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the advance PDF copy for my honest review.

Peanuts is a classic comic, by Charles M. Schulz one that is for any age to read and enjoy. I enjoyed reading, 'I'm Not Your Sweet Babboo!', it has some new comics in it and decent reading. Been a life long Peanuts fan, it was one of the first thing, I'd read in the comic section of the daily paper and probably have read just about every paperback release.

Definitely would recommend anyone reading Peanuts, it's one of those classic comic's that for all ages, also would make a great gift and make the perfect addition for your coffee table.

Some of the best Peanut's comics strips are in this book, for example Peppermint Patty and Linus against the neighbor's cat. Or the new school and Sally talking to it. The best way to begin the new year!

Alcune delle migliori storie dei Peanuts sono raccolte in questo libro, come per esempio il discorso di Sally alla nuova scuola e Piperita Patty e Snoopy contro il gatto dei vicini. Il modo migliore per cominciare l'anno nuovo!

THANKS NETGALLEY FOR THE PREVIEW!

I'm Not Your Sweet Babboo collects a fun cross sections of Peanuts stories including Peppermint Patty going to dog obedience school and Linus being fought over by two girls. These comics are timeless and still funny. The book includes additional learning material and activities in the back to make it fun and educational.
My biggest problem is that it cuts apart the strip format and lines up the two boxes on top of each other This reduces the impact of a strip comic and slows down the reading time. I really don't like this is the new trend, splitting up the comic "strips."

I  recieved a free digital copy of this book from Netgalley for an honest review.
Firstly, I absolutely love the title of this book! Secondly, this book focuses on my top three favorite Peanuts character, even though we do see many of the other beloved characters have their own spotlight time.
We follow Peppermint Patty with her school struggles, Snoopy with his typical shenanigans, and get to watch as Sally finds Linus with a new friend.
Lots of fond memories with Charlie and his friends. 💚

I don't know why I was browsing Netgalley's "read now" books before I fell asleep last night, but I'm glad I did! I love Snoopy and this is the perfect way to end the year. In this one, we spend a lot of time with Sally as she crushes on her sweet babboo and with Peppermint Patty as she struggles in school. And of course, with that lovable beagle, Snoopy, and his cute little friend, Woodstock, as they fight with the cat next door. A fun way to spend an afternoon for young and old alike!

I didn't grow up enjoying the Peanuts cartoons. I read them, because I read everything on the comics page. But there was something about the humor that didn't do it for me as a child.

Now that I'm older, I am starting to get a real appreciation for the quirk of these books. From Peppermint Patty getting her obedience class diploma, Lucy complaining to the class teacher about not learning about any historical females, Snoopy fighting with the cat next door and Linus fighting off Sally's advances. I have such a greater love for these strips than I ever did when they were age appropriate.

3 stars.
I believe that if I was more of a fan of Peanuts, that I would have enjoyed this more. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy the show and comics and I did still enjoy this. I think fans will love it. It's still the funny, classic Peanuts and a great collection of short comics. Definitely recommend for all Peanuts fans.

The Peanuts comic strips are always a treat for kids of all ages. You can never read too many of them and you cabin never go wrong with them. Collected here in brilliant color are nearly 200 pages of Peanuts cartoons. Schulz somehow managed with a few pictures, a few squiggles, and perhaps a bit of dialogue to capture so much of the human experience. Filled with daydreams and childhood experiences, these cartoons demonstrate our perceptions of our lives from the schoolroom where the teacher's voice never even appears to the principal's office where Peppermint Patty appears with her lawyer Snoopy to show her Obedience School diploma to the baseball field where nothing seems to work right and how silly we all feel sometimes. And then there are the incredible flights of imagination as Snoopy becomes the Easter Beagle and operates a helicopter rescue service. It's impossible to read these without a huge smile on your face no matter how old you are.
