Review Detail

‘Snoopy’s Book of Joy’ by Patty Michaels, based on the work of Charles M. Schulz, and illustrated by Scott Jeralds, is an adorably illustrated board book replete with the Peanuts characters. From Snoopy and Charlie Brown’s hug on the opening page of the book, to Snoopy’s adventures with Woodstock, to all of Snoopy’s ecstatic looking smiles as he follows his dreams, laughs up a storm, and tastes new foods, there is so much joy in just throwing oneself into the illustrations.

Snoopy also hangs out with the rest of the gang, taking naps, searching for gold, giving hugs, building block towers, and doing his best no matter the circumstances. His joy is infectious, and altogether calming. The story is short, sweet, and a beautiful testament to the power of doing what’s right for you and making friends along the way.
