Easter is a-comin’… eventually
So I’ve got a new batch of upcoming Simon Spotlight (that’s kiddy storybooks) titles: Snoopy and Woodstock’s Great Adventure ships in December. This one is adapted by Lauren Forte with art by Scott Jeralds. So, apparently, does Make a Trade, Charlie Brown (not to be confused with a storybook of a decade …
Review of Snoopy and Friends (take 1)
Well, something happened that should happen a couple more times this year: I received a book titled Snoopy and Friends. This one is for the UK market, and is aimed at youngsters just learning English… well, it’s a Level 2, so it’s youngsters just learning a little more English. This full-color …
The Complete Peanuts 1995-1996
When I received my provided-by-the-publisher reviewer copy of The Complete Peanuts 1995-1996, I knew instantly what I really wanted to get out of it. I was reminded by the cover blurb that said Introduction by RiffTrax MST3K, which may sound like arglebargle to many of you, but to me had me zooming for …
Friends Forever through four filters
Here’s the cover for this September’s Peanuts: Friends Forever, a new, full-color strip collection (of old strips, naturally!) 160 pages of Peanutsy Peanuts! And it’s got Snoopy in it! They shoulda called it Snoopy and Friends…
Fun English with Snoopy
The next book in my recent shipment from Japan, Fun English with Snoopy, is (obviously) another English language textbook. This one is a workbook populated by strips from 1990 and 1991, with sections for students to demonstrate their English comprehension by translating the strip’s text into Japanese, as well as answering …
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.)
