As Peanuts concludes its first decade, a new character makes her appearance: Charlie Brown''s little sister Sally. This volume covers her earliest days, from her proud brother''s announcement of her birth to her first words (and crush on Linus)!Also: the initial ''Great Pumpkin'' sequence; Lucy''s first appearance as a nickel psychiatrist; Linus''s short-lived and one-sided romance with his beloved teacher Miss Othmar; and Snoopy''s battle with the doghouse-destroying freeway bypass. All this, plus two of the most famous Peanuts strips of all time: the ''clouds'' Sunday that Schulz cites as his personal favourite and ''Happiness is a warm puppy''.
