Happiness is a Warm Nook
They’ve started a new push putting Peanuts books on the Nook, the Barnes & Noble ebook device. Went to check it out myself, and got the bad news: they’re only for the color Nook (and the iPad Nook software), because the books have interactive elements that wouldn’t work on the …
The cover for this year’s other Charlie Brown Christmas edition
Here’s the preliminary cover for the upcoming new book edition of A Charlie Brown Christmas. Almost certainly, this will use the same adaptation as last year’s Hallmark edition; it even has the same sound buttons. However, not only is the cover different from the Hallmark edition, it looks like it’s …
The score – Snoopy 6 Linus 1 Charlie Brown zero
Here’s the cover for the latest in the series of Wendy’s Kids’ Meal books; the books are now or will soon be available at your local Wendy’s hamburger outlet. I expect I’ll have one to review later in the week. Please note that as of this cover, even four of …
The next Wendy’s Kids Meal book
Yes, yes, I do manage to crank three posts out of each of these Wendy’s Kids Meal books. We call that efficient use of information. I also manage to make three meals out of each rotisserie chicken. Anyway, August 1st is the official release date for The World Famous Beagle …
Charlie Brown – cover-blocked again
The new Wendy’s Kids’ Meal book which started rolling out yesterday features, on its cover, Snoopy. That’s right, even for a book titled I Love Baseball, Charlie Brown gets totally Rodney Dangerfiel’d! If your Wendy’s has the signage indicating that they have toys linked to the movie Zookeeper, then they …
The next Wendy’s Kid’s Meal book
The title of the next Wendy’s Kid’s Meal kids-under-3 Peanuts board book will be: I Love Baseball. It will start hitting the restaurants this coming Monday, although any individual outlet might not have it available for a few days after that. I’ve not yet seen the cover – I’ll bet …
Beagle Deluxe
Coming early next year is a “deluxe edition” book adaptation of It’s the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown. The current listing says it’s a paperback, but I doubt that; given the $16.95 price point, it’s most likely the Easter equivalent of the big, square Charlie Brown Christmas and Great Pumpkin hardcovers …
Waiting for Charlie Brown
Here in the AAUGH.com Reference Library, we have a section for “Not That Charlie Brown”, which has a couple of biographies of people named Charlie Brown in it. (We do keep the biography of Charlie Brown, Schulz’s co-worker for whom he named the character, separate.) Now I find that released-but-temporarily-unavailable …
Kids Meal board book news
You may not know it from meeting me, but I’m a shy guy. Particularly when it comes to the phone. I feel awkward and uncertain, and try to avoid calling just about anyone whom I’m not already close to. But I’m also a very curious guy about certain things. If …
Snoopy Doodle cover
Here’s the cover for Snoopy Loves to Doodle, coming out in August, and available for preorder now. It looks to me more like the cover to Snoopy Likes to Go Speed Walking, but what do I know?
