<\/a><\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n… with the caption “As for the title, I’m as befuddled as Charlie Brown is by the title of his book” Several alert Japanese-literate AAUGH Blog readers dropped a line to let me know that the title is Snoopy’s nazo nazo kyoushitsu<\/em>, which they transalted variously as Snoopy’s Riddle Classroom<\/em> and Snoopy’s Puzzle Classroom<\/em>, with a note that in the heart it says it’s a “frienship book”.

It includes such things as a find-the-differences-in-the-pictures puzzle, a word maze, even a jigsaw puzzle to cut out. Thanks to all who chipped in.<\/p>\n
This shaped kiddie book is published by Sanrio, who are far better known for their original creations such as Hello Kitty and Badatz Maru. It wasn’t until I got this book that I thought about how much the Japanese success of Peanuts may be due to the influence of this licensee with all their talents for making hits out of characters.<\/p>\n
