Peanuts movie books and storybooks a-comin’!

Upcoming releases

As I’ve mentioned before, these big animated kid movies tend to be accompanied by a bunch of book tie-ins… and now that this fall’s solicitations are coming through, there looks to be a reasonable amount of Peanuts product in that regard. Often, the books are adaptations of a portion of the film, and I suspect that’s what You’ve Got Talent, Charlie Brown, A Friend Indeed, and Charlie Brown is Not a Quitter all are. And then there’s the The Peanuts Movie Novelization, bringing the feature film to us in prose format.
