mini Peanuts gift books on the horizon

Running Press is unleashing two more Peanuts books in their line of animated adaptations… well, actually, it looks like it’s more like one new book, and one existing book in a new package.

Coming in October is A Charlie Brown Christmas: A Book and Tree Kit. They’ve released their edition of A Charlie Brown Christmas before, but now they’re packaging it with a, ummm, tree kit. Having seen what else Running Press does, I presume it’s a little build-a-mini-tree model.

Then in January, it’s their adaptation of Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown.

Now available for preorder: Play It Again, Schroeder, a paperback strip collection.
