Puppet book

Classic finds

I am, apparently, a sucker for anything anyone describes as a Peanuts book… even when it isn’t. Take for example this items which was listed on eBay as a “puppet book”. Well, yes, it does fold open, so I understand how someone might think it’s like a book… but that would make paper napkins “books” as well.

But if it’s not a book, its also an odd puppet, the flat backing giving one a limited range of motion, and with Snoopy’s head permanently attached to what looks to be a pillow, even though he’s depicted as standing.

The thing that I love about this Knickerbocker foldable puppet toy is what Snoopy is wearing – it looks like it’s from a 1970s Halloween costume, one of those which came with an apron or smock which, rather than trying to look like a costume, instead explained whom the mask was meant to depict.

Love is Everywhere, Snoopy! is a board book that is supposed to be Charlie Brown explaining love to Snoopy (who is said to have asked, which raises the usual how-does-Snoopy-communicate-to-Charlie-Brown question.) Charlie Brown answers …
