Snoopy's Beagle Scout Tales: Peanuts Graphic Novels

Even though Schulz has been gone for over twenty years, his Peanuts characters are more popular than ever. Snoopy, of course, is the most endearing of his creations, and his daring exploits are highlighted in this collection of stories that combines the classic work of Shulz with new stories involving his characters. This graphic novel reminds me of the comic books my brother and I would get at the local Lawson's Dairy Store with our allowance, although the trim size is smaller and the book is sturdier. The bite size adventures are still perfect for summer reading on the porch while eating candy!

The classic 1977 Race for Your Life, Charlie Brown starts off the collection. Charlie has a hard time at camp, dealing with bullies and physical challenges. Of course, he and his friends end up in distress, and Snoopy and Woodstock come to the rescue! There is another adventure, Summer Camp, that is a bit shorter and once again contrasts Snoopy's talent and bravery with Charlie's ineptitude. There are new tales as well, and several original strips of Shulz's between chapters.
