The Final Wendys Kids Meal book is…

My inside elf tells me that the tenth and ultimate book in the Wendy’s Kid’s Meal kids-under-three Peanuts board book series is… Best Friends.

Now, this is not a completely original title, as witness the boxed figurine-and-booklet set Snoopy and Woodstock: Best Friends.

However, in this case, the friendship is not Snoopy and Woodstock. I am told that the cover actually has Snoopy and… Charlie Brown! Can it be true? Could it really be that after a run of nine CB-free covers, the lead character of Peanuts finally lands on the cover of one of these books?

I’ll believe it when I see it.
