More kids books
The folks at Running Press Kids seem to be doing a real push in the kids books area — In addition to the various animated adaptations and the previously-mentioned Grand Piano Book, they also have Where Is Woodstock and Snoopy At Bat coming in March. As always, you can see …
It’s Yet Again The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
Now on store shelves (although not actually in stock at Amazon) is the latest book to come under the the title of It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. This time, it’s a board book, aimed at kids… and with four single-picture spreads and one two-picture spread, it’s not really meant …
Commenting on my own review

On the tenth month of Christmas my true love got for me…
Running Press is coming out with some board books for the kids, adapting the classic Peanuts animated TV specials into a tidy ten pages apiece. Or at least, we’re pretty sure they’re board books. While the listing for the August-shipping It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown describes it as a …
