Snoopy moon books

Upcoming releases

That whole enlarged hookup between Peanuts and the space program is spilling over into kids books next year, with a double release in June. Both Shoot for the Moon, Snoopy! (written by Jason Cooper, drawn by Vicki Scott) and Snoopy, First Beagle on the Moon! (drawn by Robert Pope) are kids storybooks of different formats that get into Snoopy’s journey. The latter has a section in the back with “nonfiction facts” about the moon, while the former “comes with a double-sided poster filled with cool nonfiction facts about space!”

“Nonfiction facts” – I’m going to have let that one stew for a while.
