Easter Beaglet

The new hardcover adaptation of It’s the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown is now in my hands, and as I suspected before, the Amazon description of its size is wrong.

This is no great read by any means (text descriptions of visual gags always fall flat), but it might be a cute thing to throw in someone’s Easter basket.
