You're Our New Mascot, Chuck! (Peanuts Gang)

Rating:
Summary: Excellent, Funny Story About the Peanuts Gang
Review: The lovable Peanuts characters, including Charlie Brown, Peppermint Patty, Lucy, Franklin, Marcie, Sally, and a certain dog are all here in baseball-centered story. Patty wants Chuck to come out and help her team, and he imagines she wants him as a player.

"She wants me to pitch?" asks Charlie Brown of Marcie, who has called to warn him. "Your optimism should be framed, Charles," replies Marcie, who is suspicious of Patty.

After Charlie learns that Patty want him playing the team mascot--a penguin-Marcie visits Chuck and asks him to reject Patty's plan: "If you won't do it yourself, do it for someone who like you." (At which point, his little sister Sally yells out "Kiss her, you blockhead!")

The problem is nicely resolved for all concerned (hint: the dog plays a central role here). A plausible story, a light example of problem resolution, great illustrations (the penguin outfit is great), and funny jokes make for a very entertaining book.
