Charlie Brown and Friends: A Peanuts Collection -- Charles M. Schulz

<p>Charles Schulz's <em>Peanuts</em> is one of the most timeless and beloved comic strips ever. Now AMP helps carry on that legacy with new collections of <em>Peanuts</em> classics focused around topics sure to resonate with middle-grade readers. Second in the series is <em>Charlie Brown and Friends.</em> Whether it's the curious relationship between a bird, Woodstock, and a dog, Snoopy, or the never-ending crush that Peppermint Patty has on Charlie Brown, the gang's interactions are what make <em>Peanuts</em> resonate with kids.<br /> <br /> First published in 1950, the classic <em>Peanuts</em> strip now appears in more than 2,200 newspapers in 75 countries in 25 languages. Phrases such as "security blanket" and "good grief", which originated in the <em>Peanuts </em>world, are now part of the global vernacular, and images of Charles Schulz's classic characters - Charlie Brown kicking the football, Lucy leaning over Schroeder's piano - are now universally recognized.<br /> <br /> Together these books will introduce a new generation of kids to the lovable cast in time for the new animated <em>Peanuts</em> movie, which hits theaters in 2015 </p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Charles M.
