Lucy Says
Lucy Says, the latest and penultimate in the Wendy’s Kids’ Meal series, is maybe not quite what you’d expect. Now don’t get me wrong – it is indeed 10 pages of Lucy quotes (eight quotes in all), illustrated with pictures of Lucy. However, it’s not the quotes you might first …
Charlie Brown’s Hidden Christmas Treasures
The second of the Peanuts Look And Find books, Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown. is in my hands, and this is a book with some nice features for the dedicated Peanuts fan. As noted earlier, this is not a storybook, but a search-the-picture puzzle book. And to answer the lingering earlier …
Halloween beats Christmas
It doesn’t seem likely, but this year there are actually more new books of It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown than of the perennial book-generator, A Charlie Brown Christmas! The latest edition to be added to the list is the Play-a-Sound edition published by Publications International. This is a board …
Did you know there’s a book editon of A Charlie Brown Christmas?
The AAUGH Blogger is happy, and if the AAUGH Blogger is happy, odds are good that there’s a new book edition of A Charlie Brown Christmas. And there is! This isn’t a new-from-the-ground-up edition, however. It’s a version of the sound-button book that was a Hallmark exclusive last year. But …
Trick or Treat or Look Or Find, Great Pumpkin
The It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown Look and Find book is an oversized one of busy pictures, each of which has a handful of specific items your children (or, on a quiet day, yourself) is supposed to search for. This puts it in the same category as the Where’s …
Great Pumpkin leaf globe and sticker book
The It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown Leaf Globe set is a little boxed gift with a snow-globe-like object and a book of stickers. It’s published by Running Press, who make some nice books but whose boxed gifty things I usually find underwhelming. The good news is that the stickers …
Into the Sky with The Flying Ace – a review
The eighth of the ten Wendy’s Kids’ Meal books is Into the Sky with the Flying Ace. Throughout this, we see roughly the same image – a mid-range shot of Snoopy the Flying Ace sitting on his doghouse. Five of the pages are what you see here – The Flying …
The latest Wendys book cover
See? No Charlie Brown again. What’d I tell ya? The round-headed kid gets no respect. This book should now or very shortly be appearing at a Wendy’s hamburger outlet new you, unless you’re not near a Wendy’s, in which case it will be appearing at Wendy’s far from you, where …
Great Pumpkin Sound Buttoms
There have been two large-sized adaptations of It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown issued recently, one which used a very flat-color classic-looking take on the images (a Hallmark exclusive), and one which used a lots-of-modeling Photoshop-heavy version (published by Running Press and distributed widely). This new Hallmark edition reprints the …
The World’s Greatest Beagle Scout
I now have my copies of The World’s Greatest Beagle Scout, the seventh of the ten-book run of Peanuts books being distributed. It’s a slightly-oddly-c0lored (washed-out looking) series of 5 two-page images describing what Snoopy does with his Beagle Scout troop on an overnight hike. There’s nothing particularly amusing about …
