Peanuts books all a-board!

The mail brought two new Peanuts board books this week, and the web offered up images of another, so I guess that’s the theme for the day. Cheering You On, Charlie Brown looks first at how Charlie Brown has a lot of difficulty in life, but then at how he …

Shiny edges

So I got the new board book edition of It’s the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown. And, well, it is what it is, a board book edition of a previously-published adaptation. I’m not sure full episode adaptations are absolutely ripe for board books, simply because they’re too long, too much text, for …

Review catchup

I apologize for the lack of reviews in a while. It’s my own fault… and the fault of that new Hallmark edition of A Charlie Brown Christmas which interacts with a stuffed animal. “That would be a great review to do as a video”, thought I. But videos take time to …

Animated Peanuts

A couple pops shy of a fun book; and shalom noel

Last year, in my too-completist quest for Peanuts books, I got the Snoopy Candy Fun Book, a box with a few puzzles under a flap, plus stickers and ten lollipops. Today, I was ina. store that had these, and ao I pulled up my old post to make sure that …

Review: Where’s Snoopy?

Review: The Essential Peanuts

REVIEW: Snoopy & the Great Mystery Club

For a video game review, I turn to the AAUGH Blog’s Video Game Specialist (and my dAAUGHter), Allison. Snoopy & The Great Mystery Club (released today on Steam, Switch, Playstation, and X-Box) is a video game in the literal sense of the term. Is it a good video game? I’d …

The expensive book I’m glad I bought, the discount book I kinda wish I hadn’t

Two books joined the AAUGH.com Reference Library today, neither of them new volumes. One of them brought grins, one brought a loud meh. Four years back I noted that there was a book out called Man’s Best Friend, documenting a gallery show by Kaws, an artist some of whose work …

RECOMMENDED: Goodness and Good Grief!

I somewhat slough off a lot of Peanuts books aimed at children. I can appreciate that the people making them are doing good work, but at the same time feel that a properly formatted book of the actual comic strips would actually serve the kid better. But then, I’m a …

Italian surprise

I was going to do a brief write-up on Beaglefest, including mentioning the few things I got to add to the AAUGH.com Reference Library… really, just five items, three of which were books in Italian, which were picked up at the Snoopy Gift Shop. Now, normally I wouldn’t pick up …
