Running Press has announced another one of their “kits”, this one Peanuts Finger Puppet Theater: Starring Charlie Brown and Snoopy! (the exclamation point is theirs.) It’s getting listed in the book listings even though I’m not sure there’s a book involved. It has finger puppets of Charlie Brown and Snoopy, puppet backdrops of the doghouse and baseball field, and ten stickers to decorate the background (the stickers are “electrostatic”, so watch out!) I suppose the stickers may be a book. The listing says it’s a 32 page book; that may be the booklet of stickers, or it may be something else, or it may simply be an error, we’ve got no photos yet.
