Look at the Look And Find I found

Coming in September is a new Peanuts Look and Find book, which has a different cover title than its Amazon listing at this point. I suspect this is just a reprint of 2011’s Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown Look and Find, and I could better verify that by comparing the inside spreads of that book to the cover images of this one… but when I look for my copy of the older book, I can’t find it! That’s how effective these books are!

It’s good to see this available, as Phoenix International books have generally not been available through Amazon; I’ve had to either stumble on them at Costco or order them from some odd place. However, this may be part of a general shift from the publisher, as Amazon is now carrying their boxed set of a stuffed Snoopy and a board book with sound buttons, also bearing the Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown! title.
