Peanuts Summer Fun Series Review: Friendship, Creativity, and Fun for Kids

June 2, 2026 /

Disclosure: We received these books for review purposes. All opinions are our own. This post may contain affiliate links.

I don’t know about in your family but in mine few characters have remained as beloved as Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Woodstock, Lucy, and the rest of the Peanuts gang. Recently, we had the opportunity to review three fun Peanuts books that encourage creativity, learning, and self-expression.

The first book, The Peanuts Guide to Friendship, reminds readers about kindness, friendship, and understanding through memorable moments featuring favorite Peanuts characters. I like how the book is small but would look nice sitting on the coffee table. Charlie and David liked the book because it reminded them of a Comic Book.

The second book we received was called Peanuts All About Me: My Fill-In Book encourages children to share their interests, dreams, and personalities while creating a keepsake they can enjoy for years to come. My family had a lot of fun answering and filling in the questions in the book which allowed us to spend time together while we got offline for a bit.

The last book we received was How to Draw Peanuts for Kids which helps young artists learn how to draw beloved characters through easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions. Charlie and David did great at drawing the pictures together while I watched. This book would make a fun Father’s Day Gift and also a great addition to a Homeschool Art Class.

Together, these books provide a wonderful combination of reading, creativity, art, and personal growth. They are ideal for summer learning, homeschool activities, rainy-day fun, and gift-giving occasions. If you’re traveling this year, bring them along to keep summer learning going all year long.

Our family especially appreciated how these books encourage children to spend time reading, drawing, and expressing themselves away from screens. This is why you will find each of the books inside our Summer Gift Guide.

If you like #Peanuts and the character as much as my families does who is your favorite character and why?

This week I’m sharing a closer look at the Dollar Tree Book Club Kit, something I picked up as a simple, budget-friendly way to add a little structure and fun to reading time. Now that I’ve actually opened it and gone through everything, it feels less like a “kit” and more like a light reading companion set. It’s not complicated or overwhelming, and that’s part of what makes it interesting. It’s designed to sit alongside whatever you’re already reading and give you a loose framework for thinking about the story in a more intentional way. Inside the kit, there are themed prompts and simple reading discussion-style elements that guide you through reflecting on a book without making it feel like work. It’s very straightforward—more about encouraging conversation and personal reaction than anything formal or academic. What I noticed most after laying everything out is how flexible it actually is. It doesn’t lock you into one type of book or one style of reading. You can pair it with something light, something emotional, or something more dramatic, and it still works the same way. It adapts to your reading style instead of trying to change it. Seeing it fully opened also makes it feel more useful than it first seemed. It’s the kind of thing that works best when it’s sitting on a table with a book already open next to it, not something stored away. It naturally invites you to slow down a bit and actually think about what you’re reading as you go. From a value perspective, it still holds up as a simple, low-cost add-on that makes reading feel more intentional without adding pressure. It’s not trying to be a full system—it’s just a small tool that supports whatever reading habits you already have. Overall, after opening it and seeing everything included, it feels like a practical little reading companion that works best when you’re actively in a book and want a bit more structure around your thoughts without turning it into homework.
