If Lucy Knew How Funny She Was, She Wouldn't Be Crabby!

In this collection (originally entitle As You Like It, Charlie Brown), Lucy gets top billing in many of the stories. She takes piano lessons making Schroeder rather jealous ("You're cute when you're angry!"), points out Charlie Brown's faults (for $143- even by today's standards, that's pretty steep!), pulls a cruel joke on the blockhead for April Fool's Day, forces Linus to sing "Jingle Bells" at the PTA Christmas Program and uses his blanket for a Science Fair project. Of course, the rest of the gang have their moments. Charlie Brown has a sore elbow and can't pitch for a week (and the gang isn't heartbroken). Snoopy refuses to see the vet for a rabies shot. A character by the name of 5 is introduced. The Peanuts gang may not consider Lucy a "cutie" but Peanuts wouldn't be the same without her!
