Keep Calm and Do the Snoopy Dance

KeepCalmThe new book Keep Calm and Do the Snoopy Dance is a little hardback gift book that includes a few Peanuts strips in it, but is mainly page after page of inspirational quotes (many with dancing mentioned as a source of joy), each with the same small picture of Snoopy tipping his top hat.

I like the physical construct of the book; it’s good and solid. I’m not sure that I personally need a book of inspirational quotes at the moment, particularly about dancing (I’m not much of a dancer), but I think it’d be the right book when put into the right hands.

(If the title seems a little odd to you, you may have missed out on a recent trend. For some reason, folks have latched onto a 1939 poster meant to steel Englishfolk up for World War II which said Keep Calm and Carry On. Folks have been reworking the wording and design of that poster for all sorts of things lately, of which this cover is a clear example. Actually, many of the quotes within encourage you not to keep calm. Can the Snoopy Dance really be considered calm?)

Review: Where’s Snoopy?

The thing it understand about the new hardcover Where’s Snoopy: A Search-and-Find Book by Natalie Shaw and Scott Jeralds is that this isn’t really a puzzle book a la Where’s Waldo? or some of those books of richly detailed photographs where it really takes careful poring over to locate the missing …
