Who says Christmas comes but once a year?

Having already announced this year’s new book adaptation of A Charlie Brown Christmas coming from Simon Spotlight (that link is for the Kindle edition, I don’t see one showing up for print yet), I am pleased to announced that there will also be a new edition coming from Running Press Kids. I presume this will be the same adaptation with the Tom Brannon art stylings that Running Press has been using for a while now, but they’re doing a deluxe edition – a slipcase, one of those built-in bookmark ribbons, and a sticker sheet. It is, after all, the 50th anniversary of the special.

Also coming up: the Peanuts Holiday Wisdom box set, including the separately-available books Be Awesome, Be Thankful, and Be Joyful.
