Title: An Exceptional Peanuts Video
Product review: This video, or the book by the same title, is excellent for elementary school aged children confronting cancer in themselves or their families. I have donated multiple copies of the video and book to Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago for use with their young cancer patients and their families. The story is especially good for siblings of children with cancer, since it shows how they sometimes feel that they are being ignored, and their sister or brother is getting all of the attention. It also teaches a child how to defend a classmate against bullying, when the girl with cancer is made fun of for having lost her hair. My only reservation would be not to give this video to a child who has extremely advanced cancer, since of course the story has a happy ending, and it might cause the child to wonder why they don't seem to be recovering. Overall: well done, Charles Schulz!
