Snoopy: A Big Box of Happiness - (Peanuts Kids) by Charles M Schulz (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

From the anticipation for the mysterious Great Pumpkin and the thrill of spring baseball to the friendship of Charlie Brown and his imaginative, adventurous dog Snoopy, this Snoopy box set is a celebration of the world's most beloved beagle.

This box set of five collections of Charles Schulz' classic Peanuts comics selected especially for kids follows the adventures of Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus, Peppermint Patty, Woodstock, and the entire Peanuts gang. Also in these pages are several "More to Explore" sections where kids can learn about topics covered in the comics, such as space exploration and outdoor safety. This set includes the following titles:

• Snoopy: Boogie Down!: Is your baseball team getting beat sixty-eight to nothing? Are you caught in the rain without an umbrella? Did you finally work up the courage to call your crush only to get the wrong number? Don't fret! The Peanuts gang has the cure for your worries. Join Linus as he awaits the Great Pumpkin, Peppermint Patty as she faces off against a whole hockey team, and Snoopy as he attempts to eat the largest sandwich ever. Sally befriends the new girl at school only to find a rival for her Sweet Babboo's affection, while Charlie Brown searches for a home for Snoopy's mysterious brother, Spike.
• Snoopy: First Beagle in Space: The beagle has landed! In this exciting collection of Peanuts comics, Snoopy blasts off into outer space and all the way to the surface of the moon! Back on Earth, Lucy struggles to go an entire day without yelling at her brother, Linus; Sally and Eudora write and deliver valentines; and Peppermint Patty gets so fed up with her schoolwork that she tries becoming a professional golfer instead. Meanwhile, Charlie Brown gets lost in the woods while trying to help reunite a stray Beagle Scout with the rest of the troop.
• Snoopy: Cannonball!: Look out, below! Whether he's playing football, howling for his dinner, or writing on his typewriter, Snoopy always makes a splash. Along the way, his brother Marbles pays a visit, Sally goes to beanbag camp, Marcy is recruited for the school safety patrol, and Charlie Brown hopes his baseball team can finally win a game--or at least avoid getting rained on while they lose.
• Snoopy: Touchdown!: Snoopy is a master of many different activities, from writing a novel on the top of his doghouse to sledding down the ski slopes in his supper dish. He even manages to team up with Charlie Brown to score a touchdown--though their end zone celebration could use some improvement. Linus waits for the Great Pumpkin and struggles to give up his blanket, Marcie and Peppermint Patty go to summer camp, and Snoopy's brother Spike makes a dangerous trek across the country to see his brother beagle.
• Snoopy: Beagle Scout Adventures: Outdoor adventure abounds in this special collection of Peanuts strips featuring Snoopy, Woodstock, and friends. Join the Beagle Scouts as they experience close encounters with wildlife, grueling journeys along rocky coasts, and refreshing mugs of root beer at small-town rest stops. Beagle Scout Adventures also features summer camp outings with Charlie Brown and the rest of the Peanuts gang, as well as a More-to-Explore section featuring camping-related activities for kids, making this book the perfect companion for all your outdoor explorations.
