\"\"<\/a>The It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown<\/em> Look and Find<\/strong> book<\/a> is an oversized one of busy pictures, each of which has a handful of specific items your children (or, on a quiet day, yourself) is supposed to search for. This puts it in the same category as the Where’s Waldo<\/em> and I Spy<\/em> books, and if it’s not as richly detailed as the books in those series, well at least it’s filled with Peanutsy goodness.<\/p>\n

The book has eight spreads inspired by scenes in the classic animated TV special, but it doesn’t attempt to cover the whole plot, still not sure if I can technically call it an “adaptation”.<\/p>\n

This isn’t a deeply meaningful work, but it is something that would provide a perfectly welcome distraction in the pediatrician’s office. The artwork, executed by Schulz’s studio (Charles M. Schulz Creative Associates) is nicely done and properly colored to create that busy sensibility that makes these puzzles work… although as such search things go, these are simple.<\/p>\n

My favorite of the spreads is a shot of the neighborhood with the kids trick-or-treating, and all 40-some of the kids pictured are wearing ghost sheets.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
This is only about a quarter of the shot.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And remember, there’s another one of these books coming for Christmastime.<\/p>\n
