The art and humor of Charles M. Schulz is always a delight. While dance is the main theme of this book it also provides running scenarios of "Hey, stupid cat", the school building's relatives, Peppermint Patty and of course Charlie Brown and his baseball and football experiences. Grab a copy and enjoy an evening's read with a smile and occasional chuckle while visiting the Peanuts gang once again.

What can one say about our beloved Snoopie and his gang, that hasn't been said before? This is pure, intelligent humor, accompanied by some sweet scenes along the way. Snoopie never fails to be completely adorable. I definitely enjoyed Boogie Down! , and I think you will, too!

Oh come on... It's Peanuts, of course it's good. And even though some jokes are dated, they remain funny.

I received a copy through Netgalley.

Snoopy: Boogie Down is a collection of veteran Peanuts strips marketed to the middle grades.

It’s not just Snoopy. All the gang is here: Charlie Brown, Lucy, Sally, Peppermint Patty and even Snoopy’s brother Spike at the way from Needles. The comics were selected to appeal to the middle grades by emphasizing sports, school, summer camp and pets. Older adults may have to explain some of the celebrity references like Farrah Fawcett and even what the word “Boogie” means. However, even older readers will enjoy this trip down Memory Lane.

Snoopy: Boogie Down is recommended for anyone looking for a humorous reflection on life’s ironies. 4 stars!

Thanks to Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley for an advance copy.

It was and is always so much fun to read the Peanuts comic strip. Charles M. Schultz was a genius in how he made his strip so appealing to kids and adults alike. Peanuts is timeless and is always guaranteed to elicit a smile and/or laugh. As a bonus, it may impart a pearl of wisdom or a different perspective. I highly recommend this collection!

My favorite strips were and continue to be the ones about Snoopy so when I saw that this book’s title featured that cute little beagle, I knew I had to read it! There are some great strips featuring Snoopy and his feud with the stupid cat, Snoopy pretending to be an owl, Snoopy with his dinner bowl, Snoopy writing a book (on a typewriter of all things! Most of these strips are not at all dated but that one was. Today I guess Snoopy would be writing a book on an ipad!)

It is always a treat to see Peanuts in color! The drawings are still adorable and delightful! Nothing beats a smiling, laughing or dancing Snoopy! There are some classic ones, like Charlie Brown asks Snoopy why he doesn’t dance anymore for his dinner. And, Lucy saying its windy, raining and cold — it’s a good day to be crabby. Of course, a Peanuts collection would not be complete without Charlie Brown trying to kick the football that’s held by Lucy or Charlie Brown on the mound pitching. There are plenty of these are included in this collection.

There is a great 4-5 pages that detail the history of Snoopy’s dancing and how it changed throughout the years, even if they were in black and white. There is even one very early one in which Snoopy looked different and its always interesting to see the visual of how a character started out.

It never ceases to amaze me how simple some Peanuts strips are and yet hey are so funny. I enjoyed the ones about Sally telling Charlie Brown about different English symbols liken ampersand and a musical clef, which if you didn’t know they hate each other! She explains that brackets always come in pairs so if you see only one by itself, you will know it’s up to no good!

I always appreciated how some Peanuts strips continue with the same situation, just with a different spin. For example, there are quite a few featuring Peppermint Patty dealing with her problem of falling asleep in class. Her friend Marcie gives her advice and different ideas of what is causing the problem. Some of them are just so hilarious.

Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

Snoopy: Boogie Down! is Peanuts at its finest. Classic and funny, the comics can be read by adults and children alike over and over again for light-hearted fun. Tackling holidays, seasons, and childhood, the comics run the gauntlet from Lucy and Schroader to Snoopy taunting the cat to Linus's continued search for the Great Pumpkin. With all your favorite story lines and your favorite characters, the reader will enjoy countless entertainment between the pages of the volume. Guaranteed to take the reader back to simpler times, the comic strips will be re-read for the fun and smiles they bring. This book series is proof that Charles M. Schulz works will always be timeless and enjoyed by the masses. My voluntary, unbiased review is based upon a review copy from Netgalley.

I have been a Peanuts fan since I was a young girl years ago. I used to collect everything Peanuts. This book helped me remember why I loved them so much. Not to mention Charlie Brown's sister Sally has my name. This is a group of comic strips from Mr. Schulz. They still bring a chuckle when you read them. I had forgotten some of the characters and was glad to see my old favorites in here. This is in comic book form and if you want a bit of nostalgia this is a great way to get it. It also has a special section on comic strips where they dance. I was also happy to see they have a Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center in California. This is a must have for any Peanut fan or to introduce your children to your favorite childhood characters.

Thank you Netgalley for allowing me to read and review Snoopy: Boogey Down. I grew up watching the Peanuts gang and reading books similar to this one as a child. Snoopy has always been my favorite character. It was nice to re-read these comic strips from long ago and being able to introduce a new generation to these gems from the past.

Oh Snoopy how I love you! This was a cute little book for the kid in me! I wouldn’t recommend missing out on reading a classic Snoopy tale!

Was this review helpful?

Join the Peanuts gang as they explore Snoopy’s affinity to Boogie! There are lots of comics selected with a young audience in mind as they relate to school, holidays, life, sports, and more. There’s a character for everyone. Snoopy’s antagonistic relationship with the cat next door is classic! The small historical research piece at the end explores the history of the Peanuts gang, Snoopy, and Snoopy’s well known dance. Great for all ages.

This is a sweet collection of Snoopy comic strips. The selected strip brought a smile to my face and jogged memories of my childhood when peanuts comics were in the newspaper. Thank you for the opportunity to review this book.

Always a pleasure to go back down memory lane and read about the adventures of my these iconic characters. I especially loved the revamped and modernized designs.

This collection of comics was so fun! My dad has several Peanuts books from when he was a kid and I loved reading them when I was little. I also loved reading them in the newspaper and I always watch the holiday specials.
I liked that each comic was 4 panels, but sometimes several of them made up a whole story. I also liked how there were a few 4 panel stories, but they kept coming up throughout the book but a little different. Like how Snoopy would make fun of the cat next door about something specific and the cat would swipe a shape related to what Snoopy was teasing it about in his doghouse.
There was a great variety of different characters in the comics and I loved them all. Of course I have to say my favorite is Snoopy!

Most of us grew up reading Charles Schultz' cartoons in the paper and watching the many TV specials. We recognized our young selves in Charlie Brown's gang of misfits. As adults we all had a "Charlie Brown" Christmas tree for awhile. These books are designed to let your middle age kids have the same experiences you did. I read this book, then had all the kids that hang out at my house read it. Their ages run from 6-16 and all enjoyed it, especially when they read it with their friends and family. It's a great book to read and share during story time or use as a starting point in conversations of what would you do if it had been you holding the football? We all really loved it!

It’s Charlie Brown and the gang so naturally I devoured this book as soon as it downloaded on my iPad. I’ve now finished my reread and all I can think is that I need to save up for the inevitable. One of these days I’m going to own the entire collection of Peanuts so I will always have smiles at my fingertips.

I was surprised by the amount of comics in this collection that I’d never read before. There will be kids who are discovering Peanuts who’ll no doubt ask their parents what some of the now dated references mean but they are few and far between. I loved that this collection was in colour so even the comics I already knew and loved felt fresh.

Snoopy continues his battle of wits with the creative bully cat next door and we wait with Linus and Marci for the Great Grape. (Sorry, Linus, I was just messing with you. Unlike Marci I know it’s the Great Pumpkin!) Peppermint Patty asks for Marci’s help to stay awake in class and Sally talks to the school building and seeks protection against the powers of darkness, i.e., the third grader whose ruler she broke. Charlie Brown checks his calendar to see if there’s anything coming up that he needs to dread, Schroeder plays piano and is annoyed by Lucy, Lucy dispenses 5 cents worth of wisdom, Snoopy’s brother Spike visits, Woodstock saves the day, and Pig-Pen even makes an appearance. My favourite comics included delightfully dour Eudora, who Sally first meets at camp.

Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the opportunity to giggle my way through this collection of comics. I’m already looking forward to the next collection.

I did not know there were so many strips where the cat next door took swipes at Snoopy's dog house. There are also touches of baseball, Lucy and Schroeder, and all of the favorite Peanuts characters. A lovely series of strips.

Snoopy comics are classic! Charles Schulz was a genius. Charlie and Lucy and the football never gets old. Loved the sequences with Snoopy battling against the next door cat.
There were characters that were highlighted that often get overlooked – from Woodstock to Snoopy’s brother Spike to Pig-Pen. All are endearing.
Always funny. Highly recommend this compilation.

As always hilarious and never fails to teach us a life lesson. Snoopy will never outgrow the child in all of us..

As always, books like this remind me of how much I like Snoopy and the gang! Charles Schultz created an enduring legacy that we can still read his comics and enjoy them.

Definitely worth it for any fan of Peanuts. And for those who haven't read these comics... well, you're in for a treat!

Who doesn't enjoy "Charlie Brown and the Peanuts Gang." Oh...that's right, kids these days who do not understand classics. I am a true 90's babe. I grew up on Charlie Brown and this is one legacy, I will make sure lives on.

Charlie Brown and the Gang, are going through a lot in this book "Boogie Down." I don't know exactly how to exactly explain some of the small things that happen in this book, but let me tell you about the cat that snoopy keeps harassing.

I would recommend this book, to everyone who loves the true classics that childhoods are built on.

There’s been so many of these books that it’s hard for them to come up with a new theme. This one doesn’t really matter till the end.
Right away there’s a pun worthy of making me wonder if the guy from Pearls Before Swine got the idea here.
I hate bugs, but I’ll adopt the one who knows more than Lucy and Sally.
Never saw the character Eudora before. I like her, especially her fishing style.
The disguised drop shot made me chuckle before I could stop it.
There’s a special section at the end featuring the history of dance in the strip.
3.5 pushed up to 4/5

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my unbiased opinion.

This is volume 11 of Charles Schulz's Peanuts comics, featuring Charlie Brown, Snoopy, et al. The end of the book talks a little about the dancing featured throughout the years of Peanuts cartoons. Some of these comics were ones I don't remember seeing before, such as the ones where the cat slashes shapes into Snoopy's doghouse. Those appear to have been common back in 1977-78! I love the Peanuts cartoons, and hopefully this book will make them more known to younger generations.

Reading a book of Snoopy cartoons by the late Charles Schulz is like revisiting your childhood. Then I read them for the dry wit of the characters and for love of the dog who danced with such joy!! They simply made me smile. Now I also recognize the clever wisdom Schulz imbedded in these characters.

Growing up, Charlie Brown, Linus, Lucy, Marcie, Peppermint Patty, Snoopy, Woodstock and Pigpen were my tribe. They still are, I just wear grown-up clothes and look a bit older.

A wonderful look back at characters who became part of the American culture. Thank-you, Mr. Schulz. I know it's too late an offering, but thank-you!

Thanks too to NetGalley and Andrew McMeel Publishing.

PROS
As always, the fine and intelligent humor present on Snoopy stripes is impeccable. Social criticism also never misses an opportunity to present itself and makes us think of what exactly are we doing with our lives.

CONS
As a lover of comic books and comic stripes, sometimes I find Snoopy ones a little too serious or too plain in comparison to other works.

COVER ANALYSIS
Come on, it’s Snoopy! It’s sooo cute! *--*

Who doesn't love Snoopy? Full of classic, nostalgic, witty humor and endearing illustrations. A must for "Peanuts" lovers. Five stars. Keep this series coming.

'Snoopy: Boogie Down!' by Charles M. Schulz is the 11th collection by Andrews McMeel Publishing. These are great collections and feature color strips throughout.

This time around Snoopy deals with mealtime woes. Sally goes to camp and meets a new kid (and forgets to have a bad time at camp along the way). The new kid moves in to the neighborhood and manages to get Linus' prized blanket, and Linus, Snoopy and Woodstock have to perform a daring rescue.

There are also tennis jokes, baseball jokes, and more. I love that these original black and white strips are now in color. The color process honors the originals. There are daily strips as well as Sundays. Get a copy of this for a kid in your life. These are still classic.

Snoopy and the gang - always a winner!

I don't know what I could possibly say that hasn't been said many times before... and probably better than I could hope to say. You already know if this book is right for you.

(SPOILER ALERT: It is! It's right for you... It's right for me... It's right for everyone!)

Snoopy is the embodiment of fun and joy. Dive in to this book and Boogie Down!

Nostalgia! This reminds me so much of my childhood, good old fashion, clean comics. I really enjoyed watching Charlie Brown as a kid and loved some his other comics growing up, I'm so glad Schulz is still at it. This generation needs Charlie Brown and his friends! As usual, its well written, lessons were learned and fun was had by the peanuts gang! We will absolutely be getting this one into the hands of our kids!

Was this review helpful?

It's always a fun and enjoyable time whenever I read Snoopy. I may be biased considering he's my all-time favorite cartoon character but I love the silliness and the light feeling the strips offer. It raises a chuckle here and there out of me and it's definitely something my daughter also likes looking at and asks me to read out loud (even though she doesn't get much of the humor, she's only 3 after all.)
