Christmas Time Is Here is here
Just out from Phoenix International Publications, who have put out a string of Peanuts books with sound buttons, is Christmas Time is Here!. This is basically a kids’s song book, six buttons to play songs with the lyrics on the attached board book, and a rhyming countdown from five days before …
Snoopy in Space
The San Diego Comic-Con starts tonight, so the pop culture business has been filled with new announcements, as businesses try to get in on the news coverage that is devoted to all the tv, movie, and comics news for a few days. So it’s no surprise that Apple had released …
Old school Peanuts on the big screen
With the lack of any plans for a follow-up to The Peanuts Movie, you might have assumed that you’d never get a chance to see Peanuts on the big screen again. Do not despair! You will get your chance – chances, even! –later this year. Both A Boy Named Charlie Brown and Snoopy …
