Charles Schulz's Peanuts is one of the most timeless and beloved comic strips ever. In this second book of the series, the gang's all here and getting into classic Peanuts hijinks.

Put me in, Coach! The Peanuts gang is ready to play ball in this collection of baseball-themed cartoons. Some of the most popular Peanuts moments happen on the field and they’re gathered here for a season full of enjoyment. As manager of the endlessly losing team, Charlie Brown soldiers on to keep his team’s spirits up, while being constantly blown off the pitching mound in a clothes-exploding fashion. It doesn’t help that his catcher is a musician by nature or that his shortstop is a dog. Not to mention that center-fielder Lucy can’t keep her mouth shut long enough to know what’s going on in the game! Put them all together and you get a game plan for laughs!
"It's a beautiful day to fly a kite, but as soon as Charlie Brown's kite catches a nice gust of wind ... it gets eaten up by the kite-eating tree! Good grief. When he tries again, the tree eats that kite too. Charlie Brown and his friends refuse to let the kite-eating tree win, but what can they do?"--Page 4 of cover.
Snoopy is one small dog with one huge imagination! From day to day, he can be found stalking the other Peanuts characters as a fierce ready-to-prey vulture, leopard, mountain lion, piranha, or creature from the sea. But his grandest flights of fancy are when he’s airborne as the Flying Ace on his Sopwith Camel seeking out the evil Red Baron. His forays take him through the World War I French countryside in repeated attempts to achieve his quest. In Snoopy: Contact!, enjoy his adventures along with his other unusual encounters: catching bird burglars stealing his Van Gogh, challenging Lucy to an arm-wrestling contest, and becoming the Cheshire beagle.
Includes all of the comics and bonus materials from Snoopy: Cowabunga! and Charlie Brown and Friends. Good grief! Charlie Brown’s baseball team has the worst record in history, he’s constantly tormented by a kite-eating tree, and his crush doesn’t even know he exists. Fortunately, he’s surrounded by some of the best friends around. In this special collection of Peanuts comics for kids, you’ll meet outspoken Lucy, philosophical Linus, musical genius Schroeder, and, of course, Charlie Brown’s wave-surfing, airplane-piloting, Beagle Scout–leading dog, Snoopy, who treats life as one big adventure. Join in the fun and find out why Peanuts is the most cherished comic strip of all time. The gang’s all here!
The world needs a hero—and Snoopy is ready to save the day! In times of struggle—an attack of crabbiness, a stolen piano, a depressed bird—Snoopy’s on the scene. Helping the Peanuts gang through various adventures (and misadventures), Snoopy continues his standoff with the Red Baron, finds every opportunity to kiss Lucy on the nose, and ventures out to find the mysterious Lila. Meanwhile, Charlie Brown faces anxiety over saying good-bye, Lucy tries ever more desperately to get Schroeder to notice her, and Linus ponders what life would be like without his blanket. Can Snoopy save the day?

Woodstock might be the smallest of all the Peanuts gang, but he’s got a lot to say, even if Snoopy is the only one who understands him. That’s because Snoopy is Woodstock’s “Friend of Friends,” and together they write masterpieces, fly airplanes, find the perfect place to nap, and win over the hearts of readers all over the world. Whether he’s falling in love with a snowflake or crash-landing on the tip of Snoopy’s nose, Woodstock is the little yellow bird with a big personality. It takes more than a strong wind to ruffle Woodstock’s feathers, although it’s a good thing he has Snoopy to keep his little yellow feet on the ground. Don’t miss out on the newest AMP!
