SNOOPY TO THE RESCUE


Although this book is entitled, SNOOPY TO THE RESCUE it could have easily been called "Hurry, Charlie Brown" or "This Is My Year" because while Snoopy does appear in about a third of the comic, Charlie Brown, Lucy, and several of the other Peanuts characters appear in just as many. The title is taken from a short storyline where Lucy throws Schroeder's piano up into a tree, which turns out to be the nefarious kite-eating tree and they call in the rescue squad, which happens to be Snoopy. Two other longer storylines collected here include one where Snoopy goes off to find his Mom and another where Snoopy flies to the moon. The last part of the book has some information about the U.S. space program and Peanuts.  There's also a page talking about Peteluma and the World Wrist Wrestling Championship. Overall, SNOOPY TO THE RESCUE is a pretty decent "Peanuts" collection for readers and/or fans of just about any age.
