Christmas is still here!

New releases

I finally remembered to pick up Christmas is Here! Holiday Gift Set, which packages a stuffed Snoopy wearing a stocking cap (yes, it’s hard to see when it’s in the box, but it is there) with a “Look-and-Find” board book. (It says that it’s a “First Look and Find”; perhaps that should be a “First Look and Then Find”)

The book is not just a reprint of Peanuts Look and Find, which itself was a reduced-sized reprint of the Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown Look and Find… but it is an abridgment thereof, just fewer spreads, presented in board book form.

This is a perfectly serviceable gift, if Christmas pops up unexpectedly. Eighteen bucks ain’t exactly a bargain for a board book and a stuffed animal, and I suspect that the age range for “still reading board books” and “has enough attention to look and to find” may be a rather narrow one.

RECOMMENDED: Goodness and Good Grief!

I somewhat slough off a lot of Peanuts books aimed at children. I can appreciate that the people making them are doing good work, but at the same time feel that a properly formatted book of the actual comic strips would actually serve the kid better. But then, I’m a …
