Upcoming releases

GreatAdventureSo I’ve got a new batch of upcoming Simon Spotlight (that’s kiddy storybooks) titles:

  • Snoopy and Woodstock’s Great Adventure ships in December. This one is adapted by Lauren Forte with art by Scott Jeralds.
  • So, apparently, does Make a Trade, Charlie Brown (not to be confused with a storybook of a decade back with the same title.) This hardcover is adapted by Tina Gallo and drawn by my recurring collaborator, Robert Pope.

  • Also Kindle-preorderable at this point is Do Your Happy Dance, with no adapters yet listed.
