Snoopy Stars as The Great Pretender

This was one of the first books that I bought with my pocket money. At first school we used to have the book fair, where every term the hall would be transformed into an after school book shop, and huge blue cases were wheeled into the hall and opened up to show the latest children’s titles. I think we were given a catalogue a few days before the event as well so that we knew what to expect. I only saw Snoopy on TV and had no idea that he appeared in a newspaper strip or even that he was American. This book focuses on Snoopy’s costume phases as he impersonates various roles and animals, including vultures, the Easter beagle and world-famous grocery check-out clerks! Although the tales are small and not necessarily in sync; they are very imaginative and shows just what a beagle gets up to all day when left alone in the modern world.
