This collection contains "Peanuts" cartoon from the early 1960s. The selections were published earlier as volume 1 of the collection "You Can't Win Charlie Brown," and of course, originally appeared in newspaper strips. These strips contain the same characters as appeared in the 1950s (thus Peppermint Patty, Pig Pen, and the bird Woodstock had yet to make an appearance). The cartoons will bring many a smile of remembrance to older readers, and may well be appreciated by newcomers. ( )

On the cover it says "Selected Cartoons from You Can't Win, Charlie Brown, Vol. 1." it's around 120 pages of Peanuts comic strips from 1960 to 1962 and this is among the first books I ever owned. I was enchanted by these when I was about seven years old and think they're still capable of charming today's children. Looking at them still brings a smile. ( )
