"In this volume, Peanuts celebrates its 40th birthday! Snoopy and Spike decline to compete in an ugly dog competition, entering their brother Olaf instead. Charlie Brown and Marcie spend quality time together at sleepaway camp, while Peppermint Patti simmers in summer school.

Charlie Brown even gets the girl--but she thinks his name is Brownie Charles!"--p.[4] of cover.
