The book left out a lot of the story from the cartoon like most of the Snoopy stuff, It still had enough to be fun and entertaining, I didn't realize the book has been around for so long, I have long adored the TV special this is based on, I have to admit I like the TV special better, That's why this isn'tstars, This book follows the show accept it leaves out the dance sequence they always have, The characters did seem to be wearing different clothes in this, The TV show is more fleshed out, Still, it is a great story,

Fullcolor illustrations.,Whether it be the comic strip or the TV specials, who among us doesnt have fond memories of Charlie Brown Its the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown is no different.
It is one of the television classics that is always on my schedule every Halloween, This is why this book is so special,
In this updated version Its the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown: The Making of a Television Classic, we are able to go behind the scenes, read conversations, get some background context to the story and its origin all while enjoying the images that made up this TV program.
Many times, while reading this book and flipping through the pages, I couldnt help but smile at the illustrations and sheet music.
I was instantly brought back to the first time I watched this on my TV, There is something about Charlie Brown so many of us love, We gravitate to the variety of characters that show up time and time again, The lessons that they teach us are so valuable as children, but also as adults too,
If you are a fan of this TV Classic, you will not want to miss out on this book.
It will enhance what you already know and allow you to fall in love with the story on a whole new level.
Based upon the animated Peanuts holiday movie of the same name, broadcast on American television in, this sweet picturebook follows the misadventures of Charlie Brown and his friends on Halloween night.
The somewhat befuddled Linus is convinced that the Great Pumpkin a holiday giftgiver 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, 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.
Even though the book was adapted for the television classic, both are classics as far I'm concerned! Adorable Linus with his faithful blankie give up trickortreating to sit in the pumpkin patch waiting for The Great Pumpkin.
In the meantime, Chairlie Brown is having wardrobe malfunctions with his costume,
Halloween is my FAVORITE holiday and I adore all books that bring out the child in us during this time of year.
I also totally relate to Linus and his desire to see the Great Pumplin! There is Santa Claus, Leprechauns, the Easter Bunny.
. . why don't we ever see the Great Pumplin! Oh well, there's always next year! A pretty nearly yearly read in this house, and a classic, of course, featuring the somewhat confused Linus who writes a letter to the Great Pumpkin, fully expecting him to arrive, with presents.
It won't be me to tell him the truth, having kept secrets about Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny from my own children for years.
But who could deny the adoring younger sister Sally the opportunity to sit in the "most sincere" pumpkin patch with her sweet brother Linus Who would dare call them clueless And of course Charlie Brown sorry, spoiler! gets a rock in his trick or treat bag in spite of that, he is still there to comfort Linus in the end.
Anyone and everyone should be familiar with the names Charles M, Schulz, Lee Mendelson, and Bill Melendez, Instantly when you hear these names you think of Charlie Brown, Yes, the loveable guy that everyone can remember and held out hope that one day Charlie would actually kick that football that Lucy was always holding for him.
I can remember watching the television special of The Great Pumpkin with Charlie Brown and the gang, It was entertaining. Although, I can not blame Linus for being scared, I had such an enjoyable time reading this book and getting to learn how the whole Halloween special came to be.
Also, becoming familiar with the voices and having faces to them was cool, I savored every moment. If anything after reading this book, it made me want to rewatch this Halloween special, There is nothing more classic than Charlie Brown and the rest of the gang, This book would make a great gift or table top book, Loved the illustrations but the story was just so so, As much as I love Snoopy and Charlie Brown, this book was a bit repetitive, Connor loved it but I prefer the holiday special, This classic is a must read for every elementary class around Halloween, We have it on our Nook and my boys love hearing it read there and all the interactives with it there.
Linus believes that the Great Pumpkin is real and comes around every Halloween and he tries to convince his friends of this.
Sweet story! Yes, we have the first edition of this book and enjoy reading it every Halloween, With the colourful illustrations from Charles M, Schulz and delightful dialogue, this is truly a delight to read, If you're in need of some humor and fun this Halloween, read this book,
My Rating:Such a wonderful story for children, We read this book to get in the Halloween spirit, and it did just that, Reading the book, you could just picture the cartoon and all of the characters talking in their voices, like Lucy with her dramatic, sassy attitude! Great read
that displays the well known friendships this gang possesses and some truly terrific Halloween festivities and traditions.
This is the closest publication to the copy I have the Signet Comic published in,
Such a cute little Halloween story with Charlie Brown and Snoopy, The tv special is a tradition I never miss! What kid didn't watch the Peanuts specials religiously as a kid back in the day But I don't think I ever really paid attention to what a sadsack Charlie Brown really is.
But this book was fun just for me and my kids to laugh at Charlie Brown getting a bag full of rocks while trickortreating or how his ghost sheet/costume consists ofholes instead of just two.
Modern day Charlie Brown would totally snap from being bullied so much and end up mowing down everyone in his path.
My childhood memories of Peanuts to me it was simply Snoopy cartoons was sitelinkA Charlie Brown Christmas: The Making of a Tradition.

In, Schulz tried to have Li'l Folks syndicated through the Newspaper Enterprise Association, Schulz would have been an independent contractor for the syndicate, unheard of in thes, but the deal fell through.
Li'l Folks was dropped from the Pioneer Press in January,, Later that year, Schulz approached the United Feature Syndicate with his best strips from Li'l Folks, and Peanuts made its first appearance on October,.
The strip became one of the most popular comic strips of all time, He also had a short lived sports oriented comic strip called It's Only a Game, but he abandoned it due to the demands of the successful Peanuts.
Fromtohe contributed a single panel strip "Young Pillars" featuring teenagers to Youth, a publication associated with the Church of God.
Peanuts ran for nearlyyears, almost without interruption during the life of the strip, Schulz took only one vacation, a five week break in late.
At its peak, Peanuts appeared in than,newspapers incountries, Schulz stated that his routine every morning consisted of eating a jelly donut and sitting down to write the day's strip.
After coming up with an idea which he said could take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours, he began drawing it, which took about an hour for dailies and three hours for Sunday strips.
He stubbornly refused to hire an inker or letterer, saying that "it would be equivalent to a golfer hiring a man to make his putts for him.
" In NovemberSchulz suffered a stroke, and later it was discovered that he had colon cancer that had metastasized, Because of the chemotherapy and the fact he could not read or see clearly, he announced his retirement on December,.
Schulz often touched on religious themes in his work, including the classic television cartoon, A Charlie Brown Christmas, which features the character Linus van Pelt quoting the King James Version of the Bible Luke:to explain "what Christmas is all about.
" In personal interviews Schulz mentioned that Linus represented his spiritual side, Schulz, reared in the Lutheran faith, had been active in the Church of God as a young adult and then later taught Sunday school at a United Methodist Church.
In thes, Robert L, Short interpreted certain themes and conversations in Peanuts as being consistent with parts of Christian theology, and used them as illustrations during his lectures about the gospel, as he explained in his bestselling paperback book, The Gospel According to Peanuts, the first of several books he wrote on religion and Peanuts, and other popular culture items.
From the lates, however, Schulz described himself in interviews as a "secular humanist": “I do not go to church any I guess you might say I've come around to secular humanism, an obligation I believe all humans have to others and the world we live in.
