More on the board book mystery
The helpful Joanne has sent along scans of The World Famous Snoopy, and yes indeed, the back cover does still carry the old copyright information. The book does, however, have a 2011 copyright date, so it cannot be too old; this isn’t some volume left over from that month last …
The fast food board book hunt-down has a twist
Upon seeing my post yesterday about a possible kids board book at the Wendy’s fast food chain, AAUGH Blog reader Joanne dropped me a note to let me know that indeed, Wendy’s had a board book. She’d gotten one a couple weeks back, entitled World Famous Snoopy, showcasing Snoopy in …
Peanuts book at Wendy’s… or is it?
As the AAUGH Blogger, I find out about new and upcoming Peanuts books through a variety of sources. Sometimes publishers let me know what’s going on, sometimes it’s research finding out what’s in the new catalogs, sometimes a blog reader will tip me off to something new, and sometimes is …
Keeping Snoopy off your bumper
The bad economy – specifically, the California state budget crisis – is apparently slowing down efforts by the state’s museum organization to make an official Snoopy license plate available. My fellow Californians are of course suffering through myriad effects of the budget crisis, but you from out of state can …
Review: In the Shadow of the Family Dog

Review: the non-graphic novel Warm Blanket book
I just received the first book edition of Happiness is a Warm Blanket, Charlie Brown – not the upcoming graphic novel that’s been being discussed here lately, but the kids storybook version being published by Running Press Kids. The adaptation is by Jennifer Fox, with art by Paige Braddock and …

The rush-solicited hardcover graphic novel adaptation of Happiness is a Warm Blanket, Charlie Brown is now available for preorder from Barnes & Noble, at a nice discount, but not yet available from Amazon.

Oh, a LEAF globe
Oh, I get it now! It’s not “globe” as in “spherical map”; it’s “globe” as in “sno-globe”, only presumably with leaves instead of sno. That’s what the It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown leaf globe thing is that’s coming out in August. Later, when I’m not pinned under a one-and-a-half …
