I wanted to share a new children’s book based on the Peanuts gang which is a book all about me. I wish I had known about Peanuts All About Me: My Fill-In Book Review when Charlie was little because this would have made a wonderful addition to our library and a fun nursery decoration.
My family enjoyed how Snoopy, Woodstock, and the Peanuts Gang help us create a book all about ourselves in this officially licensed fill-in keepsake book for kids! This is the perfect book for children of all ages. You will find it inside our Summer Gift Guide. It could be using in Homeschooling for their reading class and art class.
Join my family let’s let the Peanuts gang guide us in filling in a book all about ourselves and what we like! You can draw a picture of yourself to peek through the cover. Since I can’t draw I will let Charlie or David draw me. Lord help me.
Then we fill in the pages of the book, answering questions including: What color is your hair? How about your eyes? What sports do you like best? What are your hobbies? Is your favorite color yellow or red or blue? If you could travel into outer space, where would you want to visit? Do you like to give advice or receive advice from friends? If you had a dog, what color would its doghouse be? This fun, colorful, and interactive book is one that only you can create.
If you are searching for a unique and thoughtful gift for an elementary-aged child, this is one you don’t want to miss. For any child who loves Snoopy, Charlie Brown, and the Peanuts characters, Peanuts: All About Me! is a wonderful keepsake of a moment captured in time. This book will be great for new parents and a keepsake that will be handed down for years to come.
Peanuts: All About Me! is more than just an activity book. It is a memory book, a creative project, and a keepsake rolled into one. Fans of Snoopy, Charlie Brown, and the Peanuts characters will enjoy making the book their own, while parents will appreciate having a lasting record of a child’s thoughts, favorites, and imagination during these growing-up years. Perfect for elementary-aged children, this is a gift that becomes more meaningful with time.

Meet the Author: Charles M. Schulz
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.
Thank you,
