Let’s Speak English with Snoopy!
Continuing our look at Japanese English language education books, we have A Peanuts Book Special: Let’s Speak English With Snoopy!, which is similar to the volume I discussed earlier: an English language strip, with Japanese translation on the outside, followed by discussion of some of the idiomatic or uncommon language used. …
Snoopy, the unspoken language master
Yes, I’m finally getting back around to documenting my shipment of Japanese Peanuts books. This isn’t the first time I’ve ordered lot of such books from Japan. Last time, I realized later that I’d ordered a large portion of cookbooks. This time, most of my order ended up being language …
I already used the good humorous title for this one
The short parody mashup story Snoopy is a Time Lord by William Hrdina, which I’ve previously noted you can download as a free PDF from the author’s website and could purchase as an ebook for the Nook, is now available for the Kindle, if you want to pay 99 cents for it.
I am invisible to Amazon
The questionnaire that Amazon asked me to fill out about my recent purchase of a book of Peanuts jigsaw puzzle does not allow for the possibility that I bought it for myself. (Also, the list of 5 possible age ranges tops out at “2+ years”, which admittedly, I am.) Despite …
Changing Charlie Brown’s religion
The upcoming book A Charlie Brown Religion has undergone a cover change (as well as a subtitle change.) I’m still looking forward to this one (although I kinda liked the other cover better.)
Charlie Brown’s Japanese Christmas

We are not using up all the Peanuts books this year
We now have the first preorderable Peanuts book for 2016: My First Peanuts: 1-2-3: A Counting Adventure, a board book. Also just added to our list of upcoming Peanuts books is this September’s sixth volume in the collection of the KaBOOM Peanuts series., which should have the final two of my stories …
Five upcoming covers
Forgive my going several days without posting, but I took advantage of the holiday weekend to visit out-of-state family members. In the interest of catching up, here’s a quick post – upcoming covers which are fairly self-explanatory, you can click through for larger images and to order.
Snoopy Treasures rereredesigned
I’ve seen publishers update their planned cover as the release date grows closer, but I don’t think I’ve seen one go through four planned iterations before now… and in this case, the book is mine! Amazon now has the fourth cover it’s displayed for my book The Snoopy Treasures, being released in November: Which …
Say “Peanuts Seasonal” five times fast
Because this November was looking just far too bereft of Peanuts books coming out, Fantagraphics has added one to the list! Snoopy Vs. the Red Baron is a hardcover collection of strips focusing on ye olde World War I Flying Ace. This is part of their “Peanuts Seasonal” line which has previously …
