"It Was a Dark and Stormy Night, Snoopy"

This was recommended to me by a writer friend. It didn't disappoint me. Now have it on corner of my desk for those trying times when smile or laugh is needed.

From the age of early TV broadcasts of peanuts, I had an inner joy of Snoopy, and my dream came true playing Snoopy in "You're a Good Man Charlie Brown", But when Charles Schultz pasted away on my birthday, I had a sad memory to follow me always, BUT the good news is ANYTHING to do with the publishing of Peanuts is worth the price. This book holds it's own in the writing of Schultz, the beagle can do no wrong in my eyes..

Ok, for some reason, possibly by the title, cover, and back description, I got the idea this book was going to be all about Snoopy's attempts at the great American novel. Though there are a couple such strips, it is the entire 1995 year. But that ultimately didn't matter.Full of the usual humor only Schulz could think of, there's the strips that make you laugh lighty, some that make you howl (Conrad, get his beak pierced?), but always make you smile. Good compilation, as usual, and worth the purchase if you're a fan of the strip.Can't wait for the first book in the new series to come out though!

Throughout his career as Charlie Brown's dog, Snoopy took on many important projects. Periodically, he could be seen beginning work on a new novel, which invariably began with, "It was a dark and stormy night." This fun book shows Snoopy's work, from beginning the project, through his finding a publisher, and on to the inevitable autograph parties. As an added bonus, Snoopy's whole novel is included for the reader's perusal. As with all of Charles M. Schulz's work, this Peanuts book is extremely funny. I mean, it stars Snoopy, what can be better that that? This is a great Peanuts book, and a nice addition to anyone's library. If you can buy it then do so, you won't regret it!

Snoopy is trying to write a book. He starts with the phrase "It was a dark and stormy night," and it just keeps getting better from there! Snoopy makes a great author! He's so cool sitting on his doghouse with his typewriter! Good job, Snoopy!
