The zany and much-beloved comedy-musical film about pint-sized rockers sticking it to the man is now an adorable picture book! For those about to read...we salute you!

When School of Rock premiered in 2003 it was an instant hit, and remained the highest grossing music-themed comedy of all time for over a decade. Now fans can enjoy the hilarious and heartwarming story in a whole new way!

It's another ordinary day at Horace Green elementary school, and the kids think they're getting another ordinary substitute teacher. But instead Dewey Finn, a washed-up musician with dreams of greatness, whisks them away on a totally rocking adventure. After overhearing the kids in music class, Dewey discovers how talented they are and realizes he has another chance at his greatest dream: winning the Battle of the Bands. But first, the kids have a lot to learn about not only rock 'n' roll, but themselves. Tamika overcomes her shyness and discovers her voice. Summer channels her over-achieving personality into her role as the band's manager. Lawrence learns that you don't have to "be cool" to make incredible music. But when the parents discover what Dewey has been teaching their kids, will the School of Rock ever have the chance to compete at Battle of the Bands? The spirit of the original film shines through, with all the iconic moments and laugh-out-loud lines recaptured.

This delightful story of a diverse and passionate group of kids coming into their own is a must-have for fans of the film, music-lovers, and anyone who's ever stuck it to the man!

By George Newall and Tom Yohe.

A revised and updated edition of the bestselling adult book, Schoolhouse Rock! The Updated Official Guide, timed to the 50th anniversary of the premiere.

"Conjunction Junction, what's your function?"

If you don't recognize those five little words, then you weren't camped out in front of the television set every Saturday morning from 1973 to 1985. Those catchy, jazzy tunes from Schoolhouse Rock! taught millions of us the fundamentals of math, grammar, science, and history. We learned how a bill becomes a law in "I'm Just a Bill," the planets of our solar system in "Interplanet Janet," how to turn an adjective into a perfectly good adverb in "Lolly, Lolly, Lolly, Get Your Adverbs Here." Plus we unknowingly memorized the Preamble to the Constitution!

A blast from the past, Schoolhouse Rock! The Updated Official Guide includes the unforgettable lyrics and memorable moments from the original segments and the later inclusions. Sprinkled with facts and behind-the-scenes trivia, this updated guide is the must-have book for every fan who wants to re-live this beloved pop-culture sensation!

1st printing. Charles Schulz's Peanuts debuted as what is arguably the most important comic strip of all time in 1950. Peanuts transcended the medium, presenting complex issues and moral dilemmas in the space of four panels, while maintaining a bitingly funny sense of humor. Charlie Brown, Lucy Van Pelt, Linus, Schroeder, kite eating tree, the Great Pumpkin, and, of course, Snoopy... all are embedded in our psyches. Now, for the first time, Schulz's classic creation will be seen in a way as close as possible to the original art created by the artist himself-in IDW's multi-award-winning Artist's Edition format, with each strip being carefully scanned and reproduced. Note: Because of the enormous size Charles Schulz worked, these originals will be reduced in size from the original art. Hardcover, 12-in. x 17-in., 144 pages, B&W.
