A poster-inclusive children’s book for all the poster children out there

LimitAs I’d mentioned, I accidentally double-ordered some of the recent Peanuts books… but in the case of The Sky’s the Limit, Snoopy!, I don’t mind. This thin, floppy, full-color storybook of the Snoopy-centric portions the upcoming The Peanuts Movie movie “includes,” as the cover promises “double-sided posters!” There’s two: a 15.5″ square poster with the World War I Flying Ace on one side (goggles up on top of the head) and full cast shot on the other side, and 15.5″x6.5″ shot of everyone skating, backed with a 6.5″x15.5″ that features Snoopy hugging Woodstock, over the text “It’s so nice to know you’re loved”. So these may prove a decoration (although it also makes me realize that instead of these smaller folded posters, I should probably spring for some of the full rolled movie posters. I mean, when else are you going to be able to get separate posters of Franklin, Pig-Pen, and Violet?)

Review catchup

I apologize for the lack of reviews in a while. It’s my own fault… and the fault of that new Hallmark edition of A Charlie Brown Christmas which interacts with a stuffed animal. “That would be a great review to do as a video”, thought I. But videos take time to …
