Charlie Brown is looking forward to the holiday off from school. But alas, his teacher assigns him to read War and Peace and write a book report. This is why I think the show is inane. Why would an elementary school teacher assign a 1400 page book to read in War and Peace?
To make things more difficult, pushy Peppermint Patty wants Charlie Brown to be his date for a New Year's Eve party she is hosting, but she gets jealous and upset when he tells her about the Little Red Haired Girl. He tries to read his book but keeps getting distracted by musical chairs and Peppermint Patty. In the end, he gets a D- on the report.
I though it was a good special but inane about having to read a long book. Why couldn't she assign the class to read age appropriate books such as Tom Sawyer or Fudge by Judy Blume? It shows that Charlie Brown has a strict teacher. Good grief.
