Interactive Pleasures Several titles this summer encourage active involvement. Charles M. Schulz's comics literally leap off the page in Peanuts: A Pop-up Celebration. The endpages feature the original comics that inspired the six 3-D tableaux within, which include Snoopy typing a story atop his fully formed doghouse and Charlie Brown as placekicker spinning through the air as Lucy pulls the football away from him.
