Upcoming releases

Coming next March is Who was Charles Schulz?, a biography for kids that is part of a large Who is/was line published by Penguin Workshop (which really sounds like a place that you want to work, doesn’t it?) One hundred and twelve pages writ by Joan Holub and illustrated by Tim Foley, available in paperback, hardcover and ebook.

And as long as I’m listing future events, I will use my Nostrodamusicity to predict that next April will bring us the Titan Books reprint of the old Holt, Rinehart, and Winston paperback strip collection It’s A Dog’s Life, Charlie Brown. This includes strips from the early 1960s.
