I grew up reading “Peanuts” and I’m
happy to see that the love of the series is being passed down with the publication
of I’M NOT YOUR SWEET BABBOO! This is the 10th collection of “Peanuts” books
published by Andrew McMeel that is aimed at younger readers. The title of this
particular collection is taken from a storyline featured in the book where
Linus gets stranded on top of a snow and ice covered roof and has to be rescued
by a helicopter (Snoopy) and is dropped into the arms of Sally. Other longer
storylines in the book include Peppermint Patty dropping out of public school
to attend a private school only to discover it’s a dog obedience school,
Charlie Brown running away from home after he receives a letter from the EPA
and thinks he’s going to be sued, Peppermint Patty and Marcie working as golf
caddies, and Snoopy preparing to get married. Sally is featured rather often in
this book telling jokes in her class. Linus’ love Truffles returns (in the
storyline where Linus ends up on the roof). In addition, Charlie Brown coaches
baseball, Snoopy plays in a doubles tennis tournament, and Sally begins
attending (and talking) to a new school after the old one collapsed. As usual,
this collection of “Peanuts” comics is highly recommended for “Peanuts” fans
both young and old and as a way to introduce someone to “Peanuts.” New copies
of the book include a poster of the book's cover.
