You’re Adjective, Charlie Color!
Among the recent rush of Peanuts books is Peanuts Mad Libs. For the few of you who don’t know the Mad Libs books, this is a game where one player gets the other player to give them a list of words of various types (“give me an adjective, a verb ending …
SNLtz
I was watching this weekend’s Saturday Night Live (guest host, Amy Schumer), and they opened with one of their Fox & Friends skits, which I always find worth watching…. most notably for the stream of “factual corrections” to statements made on the show that they scroll across the screen. Ya …
Hallmark does A Charlie Brown Christmas yet again
I do not yet have a copy in my grimy little hands, but Hallmark is indeed keeping with tradition by offering another book edition of A Charlie Brown Christmas this year! You can order yours here. I am unsure if they are yet being sold in the Hallmark stores, but you …
Demand to see his AKC Purebred Registration Certificate!
We now have cover images for the two new board books coming in May, Messy Like Pigpen and Cool Like Snoopy. However, the bigger news is another new storybook coming in July: Snoopy for President!

The plans for this were announced so far back that I was beginning to think that the project had been scuttled, but now you can buy your kids (yeah, right, your kids; me, I’ll be buying them for myself!) personalized Peanuts books. Alas, they’re not very personalized; your “child’s” name …
The piano guy and the statue guy
Had an odd experience last night during my appearance at Pasadena’s ArtNight. There was a girl, maybe 9 or so, looking through one of my books about Peanuts, and she has told me she has eight or nine “Snoopy books”. She sees a picture of Schroeder and says how she …

I’ve got three new Peanuts books sitting here waiting for review, but with preparations for my appearance tonight at the Pasadena Library, I’ll not get to them today. But last night I by chance managed to get my hands on a copy of the upcoming Peanuts: A Tribute to Charles M. …
That’s Bumper as in “bumper crop”, not as in “bumper car”
The latest in the stream of Peanuts books landing themselves on my doorstep flew over here form England. The Bumper Book of Peanuts is a 400 page strip collection, hardcover (no dust jacket), about 9 inches square. The strips are organized by theme, 45 chapters on things ranging from Ice Cream to …
More May books
‘Tis the season for publishers to be publishing their spring catalogs, and two more Peanuts books have shown up on the radar. Peppermint Patty Goes to Camp – alas, it’s unlikely that this storybook aimed at 5-7 year olds will be doing the story where Peppermint Patty went to a …
