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 …
The second of the Peanuts Look And Find books, Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown. is in my hands, and this is a book with some nice features for the dedicated Peanuts fan. As noted earlier, this is not a storybook, but a search-the-picture puzzle book. And to answer the lingering earlier …
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 …
The AAUGH Blogger is happy, and if the AAUGH Blogger is happy, odds are good that there’s a new book edition of A Charlie Brown Christmas. And there is! This isn’t a new-from-the-ground-up edition, however. It’s a version of the sound-button book that was a Hallmark exclusive last year. But …

The eighth of the ten Wendy’s Kids’ Meal books is Into the Sky with the Flying Ace. Throughout this, we see roughly the same image – a mid-range shot of Snoopy the Flying Ace sitting on his doghouse. Five of the pages are what you see here – The Flying …
See? No Charlie Brown again. What’d I tell ya? The round-headed kid gets no respect. This book should now or very shortly be appearing at a Wendy’s hamburger outlet new you, unless you’re not near a Wendy’s, in which case it will be appearing at Wendy’s far from you, where …
I am, apparently, a sucker for anything anyone describes as a Peanuts book… even when it isn’t. Take for example this items which was listed on eBay as a “puppet book”. Well, yes, it does fold open, so I understand how someone might think it’s like a book… but that …
Oooh, look at the lovely bookplates I just got. So am I going to stick these in my books? Of course not! That would degrade the condition of both the books and the bookplates themselves! Ah, the disease of collecting… (Oh, note the simplified copyright of “Peanuts Characters copyright 1950.” …
