A Charlie Brown and Lucy double-header

New releases

KnowsRecently arrived are the books Kick the Football, Charlie Brown and Lucy Knows Best, both kids’ storybooks focused on the Charlie Brown/Lucy dynamic. I really don’t have much to say about these, they fit in with all the other recent storybooks, taking a few strips and adding a bit of plot. Lucy Knows Best is level 2 Ready-to-Read book, written by Kama Einhorn and drawn by my pal, Robert Pope. Kick the Football, Charlie Brown, by Cordelia Evans and Scott Jeralds, ends with story of the final Charlie-Brown-tries-to-kick-the-football strip, which makes me happy.
