There’s a section of the AAUGH.com reference library dedicated to books that have the name Charlie Brown in the title but are not referring to that Charlie Brown. It’s a very small section, with only two or three books in it. And lately, there’s been a category of AAUGH Blog …
Here’s a Peanuts-related book I’d not noticed before: Working for Peanuts: The Project Linus Story is the history of the Peanuts-inspired charity that provides security blankets to sick, traumatize, or otherwise in-need children. It’s written by Karen Loucks Rinedollar, founder of the group. If you want the book, click the …
Remember when I said that the new book A Charlie Brown Christmas coming from Publications International was going to be a songbook and not an adaptation of the classic TV special? Well, I was half right, but half wrong as well — it’s a songbook and and adaptation! Oh frabjuous …
Lucy Says, the latest and penultimate in the Wendy’s Kids’ Meal series, is maybe not quite what you’d expect. Now don’t get me wrong – it is indeed 10 pages of Lucy quotes (eight quotes in all), illustrated with pictures of Lucy. However, it’s not the quotes you might first …

Rather, it’s full -on Queen Lucy, Stratocaster-shaped noggin, frilly dress, and all. Wendy’s has released this new batch of Kids Meal toys; if your local …
With our Amazon deal back in place, I’ve gotten rid of the “tip jar” that was at the left of the blog, both because it felt like I was presenting this blog as a charity of some sort, and because it simply (and expectedly) had no effect, with no tips …
It doesn’t seem likely, but this year there are actually more new books of It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown than of the perennial book-generator, A Charlie Brown Christmas! The latest edition to be added to the list is the Play-a-Sound edition published by Publications International. This is a board …
