The last Wendys cover, and the unreliability of elves
When my elf at Wendy’s told me that the last book would be called “Best Friends“, I guessed “the cover has Snoopy and Woodstock, right?” “No,” she assured me, “Snoopy and Charlie Brown”. Well… ha! All three of them! So maybe this is finally the chronicling of the long-overlooked camaraderie …
What’s the audio equivalent of a typo
AAUGH Blog reader Keith let me know that there’s a small error in the Color Nook version of Happiness is a Warm Puppy: where the book says that “Happiness is a climbing tree”, the read-aloud audio track says that “Happiness is climbing a tree”. A pretty small error, admittedly, but …

The Final Wendys Kids Meal book is…
My inside elf tells me that the tenth and ultimate book in the Wendy’s Kid’s Meal kids-under-three Peanuts board book series is… Best Friends. Now, this is not a completely original title, as witness the boxed figurine-and-booklet set Snoopy and Woodstock: Best Friends. However, in this case, the friendship is …
An A Charlie Brown Christmas edition I can’t get
Is an ebook a book? That’s the question I’ll have to wrestle with as I try to maintain a complete collection of book adaptations of A Charlie Brown Christmas. There’s an ebook edition now, and it’s only available for the Nook, Barnes & Nobles e-book device. And hey, I have …
