Publisher Summary

Franklin soars onto the ice with Charlie Brown and the rest of the Peanuts gang in this 8x8 storybook based on a classic Peanuts pastime! When Franklin accepts Charlie Brown’s invitation to play hockey at the pond, the ace player doesn’t get the carefree afternoon he expects. First Peppermint Patty refuses to share the ice. Then a rival group of kids try to claim the pond for themselves. It looks like Franklin will never get to skate, until he brainstorms a brilliant play to please everyone. With Charlie Brown, Peppermint Patty, Lucy, and Snoopy on his side, he challenges the rival kids in a winner-take-all game of hockey. If Franklin’s team wins, the pond belongs to everyone.

Author

Charles M Schulz

Charles M. Schulz was born in 1922 in Minneapolis, the only child of a housewife and a barber. His interest in comics was encouraged by his father, who loved the funny pages. After army duty, Schulz lettered comic pages for Timeless Topix, and sold seventeen cartoons to The Saturday Evening Post from 1948 to 1950 and a feature, Li’l Folks, to the St. Paul Pioneer Press. Peanuts debuted on October 2, 1950, and ran without interruption for the next fifty years. Schulz died on February 12, 2000, and his last strip ran the next day. Peanuts has appeared in 2,600 newspapers in 75 countries.
