Based upon the animated Peanuts holiday movie of the same name, broadcast on American television in 1966, this sweet picture-book follows the (mis)adventures of Charlie Brown and his friends on Halloween night. The somewhat befuddled Linus is convinced that the Great Pumpkin - a holiday gift-giver with a sack of presents for children, who is said to visit the most "sincere" pumpkin patch - will come this year. Mocked by his bossy sister Lucy, Linus sticks to his beliefs, and is joined in his wait by Sally, Charlie Brown's little sister. Although that young girl is disappointed at the outcome of their nighttime watch, Linus is not dissuaded. Perhaps next year, he will find the right patch in which to wait... The edition of It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown that I read was published in 2015, and lists someone named Kara McMahon as an adapter, so I would assume that the story I experienced was not the full version, as written by Schulz. Leaving that issue aside, I found the narrative enjoyable enough, but not outstanding. I couldn't help feeling, as I read along, that I was meant to find things more amusing and more poignant, than I really did. I wonder if I would have felt differently, if I grew up watching the television show? We didn't have a television in the house when I was young, so I've never seen any of the Peanuts specials. In any case, this is one I would recommend to Peanuts fans primarily, especially if they have fond memories of the television special upon which it is based. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

The board book is large, spanning around a foot in length. The pages are a tad bit thinner than the standard, sturdy board books. So, this one will take more of a beating than a standard picture book but does need a bit of care. The pages are easy to wipe off for smaller mishaps.
The illustrations carry familiar settings, characters and scenes, and are very bright and bold. The larger size of the book makes each one fun to sink into. The text is on the heavier side for a board book, but does a good job at condensing the original tale down into a readable amount for the intended age group. In other words, this one makes a nice read-aloud and will have fans of the show as well as others kept in the story.
It's a lovely way to enjoy the classic tale and keeps the spirit of it nicely. The characters come across well, and while I did find the ending a little abrupt, at first, it's not really considering the age group. I enjoyed this version quite a bit and am adding it to my book shelf because this one will continue to be a favorite for years to come. I received a complimentary copy and enjoyed how this one is formatted and done for the age group. ( )
