Summary: Sack, Rerun, Joe Shlabotnik and the Neighborhood Dog Nominee
Review: Many of you have recently seen the re-run episode of Charlie Brown's testimonial dinner. It sounds like his dream come true, especially since Charlie Brown's hero, Joe Shlabotnik is scheduled to be there. Thanks in part to Marcy's tactlessness, the evening doesn't exactly go as Charlie Brown had hoped.Speaking of reruns, new character Rerun Van Pelt (Lucy and Linus' baby brother) makes his debut. Lucy unintentionally comes up with the name and Linus thinks it's a great idea! Snoopy is nominated Neighborhood Dog of the Year. Will he win? And being obsessed with the great American sport (baseball), Charlie Brown discovers that he has a rash on his head not unlike a baseball. He wears a paper sack around his head (to avoid anyone autographing it!) and goes to summer camp. He later becomes a hero- all because of wearing a sack!

Summary: You're a good camp president, Mr. Sack!
Review: This book has IMHO one of the most brilliant Peanuts episodes the late Charles Schultz ever wrote. Charlie Brown puts a brown bag on his head to cover a rash and goes to the summer camp with his head and face covered. Guess what! Baptized as Mr Sack by the other kids, he becomes camp president and a hero. A mask is enough to turn a loser into a hero, Schultz seems to say in this story, but also, that people will believe anything they need to believe. If everybody says Mr. Sack is the best camp president ever, they will accept that. And then Charlie Brown takes off the bag... Also, Woodstock organizes a New Year's party and Snoopy makes a terrible mistake; Rerun makes his first appearances, Charlie Brown's baseball team finally wins a game and the gang organizes a testimonial dinner for him. Guess who is invited too: Joe Shlabotnik!
