He told me that it was used as a visual base for the cartoon... and since it came before hand, it is not as true to the finished cartoon as the later versions.

• "He's Your Dog, CB!" (book-and-record edition; a different adaptation from the standard version) *
• Hooray For You, Charlie Brown This is kind of a hybrid between a storybook and a coloring book. It reprints several of the Random House adaptations in black and white: It's a Mystery, Charlie Brown, There's No Time For Love, Charlie Brown, and You're A Good Sport, Charlie Brown. It is billed as "a storybook to color", rather than a coloring book with stories, so I guess it qualfies for this list.) *

The text is all dialog, no narration, and the pictures are nicely reworked Schulz art, rather than reproductions of cels. It's in an odd format, a booklet about 2.5 inches wide by about 8 inches tall.)
