Charlie Brown: POW!: A Peanuts Collection (Peanuts by Schulz Book 3) (Volume 3)

<DIV>Put me in, Coach!<BR /><BR />The <I>Peanuts</I> gang is ready to play ball in this collection of baseball-themed cartoons. Some of the most popular <I>Peanuts</I> 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!<BR /><BR />First published in 1950, the classic <I>Peanuts</I> strip now appears in more than 2,200 newspapers in 75 countries in 25 languages. Phrases such as “security blanket” and “good grief,” which originated in the <I>Peanuts </I>world, are now part of the global vernacular, and images of Charles Schulz’s classic characters—Charlie Brown kicking the football, Lucy leaning over Schroeder’s piano—are now universally recognized.<BR /><BR /><BR /> </DIV>
