A somewhat Peanuts kanji book

Just shipped from Fukuoka to the AAUGH.com reference library is a Peanuts kanji (Japanese handwriting) workbook. Well, it’s kind of Peanuts. There are Peanuts chracters on the cover, and along the edges of 5 of the 88 interior pages. That’s not to say that there aren’t cartoon characters throughout the book; there are, on virtually every page. It’s just that they aren’t Peanuts characters, but characters like the girl with mittens that you see in the picture of the inside front cover.
I don’t know if this is because they could not easily get Peanuts art that showed the words that they wanted to illustrate, or if they simply took the guts of an existing workbook and quicky added a few Peanuts decorations to make it a Peanuts book.
It’s published by, umm, these guys. (Okay so I neither read, nor write, nor type Japanese. I’m not going to get much practical use out of this book. Even if I learn to write Japanese, I still won’t know what I’m writing!)
