Woodstock: Master of Disguise by Charles Schulz
I have a huge grin just thinking back on this book. It is Woodstock in the limelight! For a small bird that doesn't talk (but communicates quite clearly), he certainly says a lot. And along with Woodstock, of course there is a good dose of Snoopy as well. There is even a little flip book illustration Easter Egg!
The comics are funny, sweet and bittersweet. Woodstock and Snoopy's relationship is at the heart of it, which isn't surprising since Snoopy is not only his best friend but also his defender (kicking Charlie Brown's behind for accidentally knocking Woodstock off a tree), his boss (Woodstock is secretary, caretaker, right wing bird and more) and his translator. How can we not smile as they alternate sleeping times, so one is "always awake in case of vampires?" or when Snoopy lets him fill in all the blue skies in the colouring book?
I expect younger kids may find it boring but it is perfect for adults. I love this little guy!
