A poster-inclusive children’s book for all the poster children out there

LimitAs I’d mentioned, I accidentally double-ordered some of the recent Peanuts books… but in the case of The Sky’s the Limit, Snoopy!, I don’t mind. This thin, floppy, full-color storybook of the Snoopy-centric portions the upcoming The Peanuts Movie movie “includes,” as the cover promises “double-sided posters!” There’s two: a 15.5″ square poster with the World War I Flying Ace on one side (goggles up on top of the head) and full cast shot on the other side, and 15.5″x6.5″ shot of everyone skating, backed with a 6.5″x15.5″ that features Snoopy hugging Woodstock, over the text “It’s so nice to know you’re loved”. So these may prove a decoration (although it also makes me realize that instead of these smaller folded posters, I should probably spring for some of the full rolled movie posters. I mean, when else are you going to be able to get separate posters of Franklin, Pig-Pen, and Violet?)

Shiny edges

So I got the new board book edition of It’s the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown. And, well, it is what it is, a board book edition of a previously-published adaptation. I’m not sure full episode adaptations are absolutely ripe for board books, simply because they’re too long, too much text, for …
