Description:

Woodstock might be the smallest of all the Peanuts gang, but he’s got a lot to say, even if Snoopy is the only one who understands him. That’s because Snoopy is Woodstock’s “Friend of Friends,” and together they write masterpieces, fly airplanes, find the perfect place to nap, and win over the hearts of readers all over the world. Whether he’s falling in love with a snowflake or crash-landing on the tip of Snoopy’s nose, Woodstock is the little yellow bird with a big personality. It takes more than a strong wind to ruffle Woodstock’s feathers, although it’s a good thing he has Snoopy to keep his little yellow feet on the ground. Don’t miss out on the newest AMP! Peanuts collection featuring Woodstock, the most recognizable yellow bird in the world—even in disguise!


Rating: 2 stars

Review:

This was okay but I was mostly surprised that it wasn't that funny. There were a few funny and cute moments but nothing that made me laugh out loud. I also found the title and cover misleading because Woodstock was only shown wearing few disguises for the Thanksgiving comics and a few other ones.

Yes, this may focus on Woodstock but his best friend Snoopy isn't far from the scene. The dynamic duo face nearly everything together from their fears of vampires to dealing with the hassles of Woodstock's bad flying.

I love Charlie Brown and the rest of the Peanuts and I still enjoy reading the comics and watching the cartoon specials and movies. However reading this felt like it was missing something. The illustrations were great just some of the dialogue didn't seem to work.
