The frequent reuse of titles for different Peanuts books is one of the tripping points for the collector. Because of that, I should note that the upcoming board book Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown<\/a>\"\"<\/strong> is not the same as the earlier Look-and-Find book\u00a0Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown<\/a><\/strong>\"\".<\/p>\n

And neither of them is the 2015 book that I finally got this week. This Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown!<\/strong><\/a> is part of a book-and-stuffed-animal bundle (the stuffed animal being a straight-forward sitting Snoopy.) The book itself is a board book with sound buttons – just three: press Snoopy, you hear a laugh, press Charlie Brown, you hear “Good Grief”, and press the Christmas tree and you’ll hear an instrumental rendition of “We Wish You a Merry Christmas.” There are six places where you are to push these buttons across the six story pages of the board book.<\/p>\n

This isn’t quite an adaptation of A Charlie Brown Christmas<\/em>, but it’s adjacent to it. Snoopy’s home is decorated in lights, it ends with a bunch of Peanuts characters saying “Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown!” around a Christmas tree. Clearly, the special is meant to be invoked.<\/p>\n

As for where you can get one of these, I’m really not sure. Amazon has never carried it, to the best of my knowledge. I ordered mine from Barnes & Noble at the link above, but I think that I got the last one that they had, as it’s now out-of-stock online. They may not be eager to restock a Christmas book in March, even assuming that it’s still available.
