Not that Charlie Brown times 2

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 …

Blanketing the world

Halloween beats Christmas

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 …
