Review: Letters to Snoopy

New releases

Ah, I’m behind in reviewing some things, but I need to clean up my living room of book clutter in preparation for an upcoming oarty… and if I want to remove a Peanuts books from the room and put it up in the AAUGH,com Reference Library, I have to review it first. So here we go:

Letters to Snoopy is a board book, and I’m over half a century too old to be it’s target audience. Written by Tina Gallo and drawn by Scott Jeralds, it tells the tale of Snoopy and Woodstock heading on a trip to Needles to visit Spike, and reading letters from the gang back home along the way. It’s the letters that give this book it’s nice piece of paper engineering, as you can open the envelope closure and drag it up to reveal the letter. (The letters are not fully removable from the book, which is a good thing when you’ve got something kids will read…. as long as they are not so eager to get the letter out that they rip it!)

Out of the six letters in the book, did I pick this example for the photo for the reason? Sure… it’s because it implies that Franklin is on the same baseball team as Snoopy, which means this is not set in the Peanuts Comic Strip Universe but in one of the alternate universes that exist.
