With the release of the new Peanuts movie how about
looking back at Snoopy with The Snoopy Treasure by Nat Gertler from Thunder Bay
Press this book is divided into 12 sections covering Snoopy’s origins, his
alter egos from Joe Cool to the Flying Ace, his family at the Dasiy Hill Puppy
Farm, his friends in the beloved Peanuts gang, and his prevalence in pop
culture, in songs, movies, books, plays, parades, museums and even NASA which
named a lunar landing module after him as they prepare to put man on the moon
in 1969.
Each page features original Peanuts panels,
side-by-side comparisons showing the evolution of Snoopy into the universally
recognizable style we know today, photographs from the Schulz museum and ten
pieces of pullout memorabilia an original Schulz drawing, a Snoopy baseball
pennant, a letter from President Ronald Regan to Schulz, a bookmark, a bumper sticker,
a punch-out model of the Red Barons’
plane, the last Peanuts strip ever printed
and more.
My Opinion: I love to watch Peanuts and Snoopy was
one of the characters that was cute and cuddly but also a mysterious dog. This
book showed me so much that I have never seen before Nat Gertler added some
great pictures and set up of the book was fabulous.
