Charles M. Schulz: Cartoonist and Creator of Peanuts (People to Know)

Rating:
Summary: Good biography for the younger set
Review: There are a number of Schulz biographies out there aimed at school libraries, mass-produced things with few words, little accuracy, and little interest. This biography, while also aimed at the same target, is a serious work done with original research and interviews and cooperation from Schulz's family. If you have a 10-15 year old who is interested in Peanuts and cartooning, this is a fine book to get them. (Adults may want to steer to the longer but more out-of-date Good Grief by Rheta Grimsley Johnson, or wait for the huge David Michaelis biography coming in 2006.)
