“But WAIT!” I hear you cry. “If Sweet Dreams, Snoopy is just a shortening of the Snoopy’s Doghouse Library book of the same name, perhaps other Wendy’s Kid’s Meal books are just shortenings of books from that esteemed library!” First off, you’re becoming obsessed. I can hear your voices screaming …
