Makes you want to rush right out a buy a copy for thirty-some bucks, doesn’t it?

I got my copy of Snoopy Loves to Doodle, which is good because my Hallmark doesn’t have that Great Pumpkin book in yet, and my Wendy’s doesn’t have the new Kids Meal book in yet, so I’ve got that itchy Peanuts-books-are-on-their-way feeling, and I needed something to scratch it. But …

Hallmark has a new book edition of It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, one with the little buttons that you push to make sounds that are part of the story. It’s a close cousin to a similar edition of A Charlie Brown Christmas which they published last year. And they’re …

I managed to get my copy of the Wendy’s Kids’ Meal book My Favorite Colors a couple days earlier than expected. (In my experience, you don’t even have to walk into the Wendy’s to find when they have the new toys in stock; the ad sheet for the toys their …

The book coming in the next few days to a Wendy’s Kid-Under-3 Meal near you (and, I hope, near me), My Favorite Colors, is not listed as being by Schulz. Rather, it’s by Snoopy himself. In most cases, this would merely be a curiosity, but in this case, it’s problematic. …
