Book Review- Charlie Brown Holiday Book

Picture book with story. Depending on their reading level third graders can read it. "A Charlie Brown Christmas," by Charles M. Schulz. Who doesn't like Snoopy the All American beagle? In this story Snoopy's owner Charlie Brown is miserable. Its Christmas time and he feels let down by the season. He doesn't like the commercialism and the selfishness. His friend Lucy tries to help him overcome his depression by telling him to get involved. She tells him he should direct the kids Christmas play. While directing the play Charlie Brown learns the true meaning of the festive season. Which is caring. This is a good lesson for kids to learn.
