Peanuts (Limited Edition): A Pop-up Celebration Hardcover – October 26, 2004

by Charles M. Schulz (Author, Illustrator), Paige Braddock (Illustrator)
4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars 25 ratings
See all formats and editions
This three-dimensional view of Charles M.Schulz's world features six quintessential PEANUTS scenarios from the archives of fifty years of comic Snoopy atop his doghouse, Lucy mooning over Schroeder, Charlie Brown "kicking" the football, Lucy's psychiatrist's stand, Peppermint Patty dozing, and what "happiness is . . ." for each of the characters. Brilliantly paper-engineered mechanics turn Schulz's comic-strip format into larger-than-life pop-ups. This hillarious PEANUTS tribute also includes reprints of the original strips from which the pop-ups were adapted and captures the best of the beagle and the gang.

Charles M. Schulz was born November 25, 1922 in Minneapolis. His destiny was foreshadowed when an uncle gave him, at the age of two days, the nickname Sparky (after the racehorse Spark Plug in the newspaper strip Barney Google).

In his senior year in high school, his mother noticed an ad in a local newspaper for a correspondence school, Federal Schools (later called Art Instruction Schools). Schulz passed the talent test, completed the course and began trying, unsuccessfully, to sell gag cartoons to magazines. (His first published drawing was of his dog, Spike, and appeared in a 1937 Ripley's Believe It Or Not! installment.) Between 1948 and 1950, he succeeded in selling 17 cartoons to the Saturday Evening Post—as well as, to the local St. Paul Pioneer Press, a weekly comic feature called Li'l Folks. It was run in the women's section and paid $10 a week. After writing and drawing the feature for two years, Schulz asked for a better location in the paper or for daily exposure, as well as a raise. When he was turned down on all three counts, he quit.

He started submitting strips to the newspaper syndicates. In the spring of 1950, he received a letter from the United Feature Syndicate, announcing their interest in his submission, Li'l Folks. Schulz boarded a train in June for New York City; more interested in doing a strip than a panel, he also brought along the first installments of what would become Peanuts—and that was what sold. (The title, which Schulz loathed to his dying day, was imposed by the syndicate). The first Peanuts daily appeared October 2, 1950; the first Sunday, January 6, 1952.

Diagnosed with cancer, Schulz retired from Peanuts at the end of 1999. He died on February 13, 2000, the day before Valentine's Day—and the day before his last strip was published—having completed 17,897 daily and Sunday strips, each and every one fully written, drawn, and lettered entirely by his own hand—an unmatched achievement in comics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful classic pop-up, with many moving parts.

Beautiful classic pop-up, with many moving parts. It includes the major well-known cartoon strips in 3D, including Lucy pulling the football from Charlie Brown, Lucy trying to get the attention of her crush Shroeder, and of course Snoopy and Woodstock complete with a doghouse and a birdbath. This is a great book for any pop-up collection, but as with all pop-ups, keep an eye on the child that is using it so they don't destroy it!

I bought this book first on San Francisco, then I lost it in South America, so asked a friend to buy it for me in a trip, so, what can I say? I can jump and feel happy again.

Charles Schultz was a genius, much more than a cartoonist. His characters amuse and inspire
and continue to, to this day. They don't "get old" at all.

Stunning but maybe where ever it was stored was not proper. Pages stuck together. Storage needs to be in a cool dry place for these kinds of advanced pop up books with moving parts. Great for my kid with dyslexia.

Es una pasada de libro. Aunque se pueda pensar que esto de las páginas pop-up es para niños muy pequeños, si a tu enano o enana le gustan los Peanuts y practicar inglés, este detalle le encantará aunque tenga 79 años. Bueno, a esa edad ya no será muy enano pero qué importa...

とてもかわいい本です。
しかけもとても凝っていて、楽しめました。最後のページはめくるところがたくさんあって、とってもワクワクしました。
そういえばスヌーピー本人は主役のわりにあんまり出てこない気がしますが、その分ピーナッツの愛すべきキャラクターがたくさん出てきて、私はすごくうれしかったです。
ピーナッツの、あの絵とあの色使いが好きな人には絶対にオススメです！

SNOOPY好きには本当にたまらない、かわいさ爆発のポップアップブックです。最初のページに幾つかコミックが載っていて、次ページからそれぞれのコミックのイメージするポップアップが続きます。開くたびに感動と驚きがあり、かわいさのあまり、思わず笑顔になっている感じです。
