My goodness, they keep publishing Peanuts books!
I just added two more books to our Upcoming Peanuts book list: Snoopy and Woodstock: Best Friends and Peanuts Philosophers, both due out about a year from now.
Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown
Here’s a first look at the cover for the upcoming adaptation of Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown. It’s got stickers!
