I think Snoopy has a cold; his head looks stuffed up

I got the AAUGH.com Reference Library copy of Hugs for Snoopy – really, I got two copies, because sometimes I forget that I preordered something, and preorder it again. It doesn’t happen very often, thank goodness. I really don’t need two of these for reference; they are particularly hard to shelve, because the stuffed head on the front isn’t exactly good for stacking next to other books.

This is a board book has Snoopy sharing hugs with various characters on five two-page spreads (or if you have two copies, ten spreads.) Really, the cover is the highlight. It looks like Snoopy was having his picture taken in one of those pose-here locations where you stick your head through a hole in a painted picture to make it look like you’re the painted character… and it’s a picture of himself.

Hey, if you saw one of those with a picture of you, you’d have your picture taken, right?

A needle-ssly fine present

Being a) an adult and b) not a Christmasian, it makes sense that I’m not given much in the way of Christmas presents. This year’s haul was just two items, both given by Dr. Mrs. The AAUGH Blogger: a Terry’s Chocolate Orange (yum!), and this Peanuts embroidery book from Japan. …

Double Love

Simon Spotlight has dropped two books for the Valentine’s Day Shopping Season, and they’re pretty similar. Love is Everywhere, Snoopy! is a board book that is supposed to be Charlie Brown explaining love to Snoopy (who is said to have asked, which raises the usual how-does-Snoopy-communicate-to-Charlie-Brown question.) Charlie Brown answers …
