Trivia
The last Peanuts special with original music by Vince Guaraldi. He died from a heart attack on February 6, 1976, several hours after completing recording of the show's score. The special is dedicated in his memory.

Goofs
Peppermint Patty says her team will face Charlie Brown's team twelve times: twice in April, three times in May, twice in June, three times in July, four times in August and once in September. That adds up to 15 times. But then again, as a straight D- student, math is not Patty's strong suit.

Quotes
Rerun van Pelt: [on the back of his mother's bike] Today, it's Welfare League and a church breakfast, and then it's the League of Women Voters, followed by a visit to the "libary". From here on, we go to the hairdresser, and then to the supermarket, and then a rousing meeting of the PTA. And last but not least, the Arbor Day committee meeting. Considering I don't do anything, I lead a very active life.

Not Exactly Educational but Still Pretty Good!

For those who haven't seen 'It's Arbor Day, Charlie Brown' , one might think this is just an educational Peanuts special with little substance, but that is quite the opposite! Its a pretty good special that has a message, but retains that classic Peanuts humor.

Sally needs to give a presentation on Arbor Day, so she gets the help of Linus and Lucy who then decide to make a garden in Charlie Brown's baseball field all before the first game of the season. Almost every member of the Peanuts gang gets to add a little something to this special which is why I think this is actually a pretty good special.

Although the educational message gets tuned out by the Peanuts' hijinks, the special stays simple and that's what makes it an underappreciated classic!

Give it a watch! Its pretty good!
