This one is for the UK market, and is aimed at youngsters just learning English&#8230; well, it&#8217;s a Level 2, so it&#8217;s youngsters just learning a little more English. This full-color paperback has a couple pages with a basic introduction of the characters, then a couple more introducing some words. Then we get prose-and-picture adaptations of some strip storylines, first the one where Lucy throws Schroeder&#8217;s piano into the kite-eating tree, then Peppermint Patty attending obedience school. Then there&#8217;s a two-page &#8220;real world&#8221; feature of pictures and light text about dog training. The last five pages of the book are are activity-oriented: questions to answer, puzzles to solve, a very short play to perform. It all seems smoothly done.<\/p>\n<p>Now, if it wasn&#8217;t tough enough that there are three completely different books called\u00a0<em>Snoopy and Friends<\/em> coming out this year, this particular book is available in two editions: one <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bookdepository.com\/Peanuts-Snoopy-Friends-Jacquie-Bloese\/9781910173305\">with a CD<\/a>, the other <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bookdepository.com\/Peanuts-Snoopy-Friends-Jacquie-Bloese\/9781910173312\">without<\/a>. So I blew out the budget and got the CD&#8217;d edition, which turns out to be a recording of all the text of the book, read in a mild British male voice. The reader does do some character voicing when reading dialogue, but it&#8217;s not anything that will fool you into thinking this is some sort of full-cast production. Total running time is about 19 minutes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, something happened that should happen a couple more times this year: I received a book titled\u00a0Snoopy and Friends.
