Lucy: Speak Out!: A PEANUTS Collection (Volume 12) (Peanuts Kids)

Loved it.

As with the entire series of these Peanuts books, "Lucy Speaks Out!" brings more than a few chuckles.Read and enjoy...

Excellent book series. My daughter loves Lucy!

Enjoy reading and sharing with others

There is nothing quite as satisfying as reading a Peanuts comic strip. This collection, titled Lucy: Speaks Out, features many Lucy comics in which she is interacting with others from the gang. There are comics featuring Lucy and Schroeder, Lucy and Charlie Brown, Lucy and Linus, Lucy and Snoopy, etc. But if Lucy Van Pelt is not one of your favorites, don’t worry as there are many strips without her, some of which feature Peppermint Patty and Marcie, Linus and Charlie Brown, Charlie Brown and his sister Sally, etc. There is something for everybody in this volume of Peanut comics.There are a few in which Lucy is in her Psychiatrist booth and one of my favorites has Charlie Brown seeking help. Lucy tells him that Life is like a game and sometimes you win and other times you’ll lose. Charlie Brown’s response is classic — I’ll be happy if I make the playoffs!There is nothing like Charles Schultz’s humor - it is just so witty and clever. In another favorite of mine, Snoopy is trying to cheer up a depressed Woodstock. Snoopy suggests he get a girlfriend and maybe he would find one if he joined a worm group! I love the one in which Lucy offers Charlie Brown some smart advice — It’s wrong to be worrying about tomorrow and instead, we should focus on enjoying today. Of course, Charlie Brown has a different take — No, that’s giving up plus I’m still hoping that yesterday will get better!There are quite a few comics that have continuing storylines over multiple strips. One features Snoopy with his beagle scouts (Woodstock and his friends, who we find out are named Bill, Conrad and Oliver) are stuck in a snowstorm. In another strip, Snoopy takes the beagle scouts to visit his brother Spike. Another theme over multiple strips features Snoopy in various roles — Snoopy the Flying Ace battling the Red Baron Blackjack Snoopy, world famous riverboat gambler, and Snoopy as a slithering python. Finally, there is a delightful continuing story in which Woodstock buys a farm and he is pictured on a tiny little tractor. Trouble ensues when his farm overlaps with Lucy’s garden project.The only negative I can say about this book is that it ended! This is a fabulous collection which is sure to make you smile and laugh while sometimes pondering some universal truths.

Lucy has been one of my favourite Peanuts characters for over thirty years (Geez, I’m old!). I loved her so much as a kid that I completed a cross stitch design of her sitting behind her infamous “Psychiatric Help” sign when I was about ten and I still have it.While it was inevitable that I’d already know some of these comics I was pleasantly surprised so many were new to me. This collection of comics felt so decadent because, unlike the comics I had as a kid, it’s in colour!Lucy writes a book about Beethoven, Sally writes a story for school about Santa Claus and his rain gear, Snoopy barks up the wrong tree, Woodstock dances up a storm, Charlie Brown goes to the emergency room and Eudora made me crave marshmallow sundaes and pizza.Thank you so much to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the opportunity to smile my way through these comics. I’m already looking forward to the next Peanuts collection.

Is there really anything left to be said? They’re Peanuts comic strips. After doing collections loosely based on topics like dancing, these feature a certain character, though in this case Lucy is not in every plotline.Funniest: Santa Claus and his rain gear.I will never forgive for “barking up the wrong tree.” “Flaw in the ointment” wasn’t any better.Never knew Marcie had a crush on Chuck.Find out what happens when Lucy DOESN’T pull the football away. . .At the end there’s a section on the author’s support of women’s sports.

Although the title features Lucy, this collection has the usual cast we all have grown up and adore. Charlie Brown and his unrequited crush of the Lityle Redhead Girl, Snoopy and Woodstock, Sally, Linus, Marcie are all here. It’s a throwback to when comics were focused on little things and a great escape into simpler times.Thanks to Netgalley for allowing me to read this ARC and give my opinion. This one was a pleasure.

I bought this used, so it really didnt make a difference, BUT if I had known beforehand that it was printed in China I would have turned it down point blank.

Excellent quality and service

Love it!!!!
