Peanuts foreign-language books for the U.S. audience

Begun 2000. March 30th, 2007 revision

Plenty of Peanuts books have been published in various counries in the world. I don't envision ever trying to list every foreign-language edition (then again, I never thought that I would go this far), but you can see a list of some example foreign non-English editions here. However, at various times Hallmark and Holt, Rinehart & Winston have published books in foreign languages for the U.S. audience. These appear to be aimed at language students, rather than at people who are not native English speakers.

An asterisk (*) indicates that I own the indicated book.

Please forgive any lack of accent marks, tildes, and such. I still haven't gotten a handle on entering some of the international characters.

Holt, Rinehart, Winston foreign editions

These are softback adaptations of the HRW "full books". Many of these were issued during the HRW "white cover" period, and these have similar cover designs, only French is in blue, and Spanish is in yellow. (These were also published in Canada, where the French edition may have served the native French speakers there.) Except, to drive collectors crazy, the French book Vas-Y, Charlie Brown is in yellow rather than blue, and uses an older cover design.
