The book box for boxed books
We now have an image of the box for the new boxed set of existing Peanuts storybooks, Read with the Peanuts Gang (which of course means you’re reading with Snoopy, and remember: he moves his lips when he reads!) This set lands in April, and includes the books Time for School, …
Snoopy clothes continue
Sub-blogger Ally continued to test the review samples provided by Love Tribe, of their new Peanuts line available exclusively through Macy’s. This time, she put two garments to the test, giving them a full day of school to do their job (which, as her father, I consider their primary job …
