A CB Valentine coverA Charlie Brown Valentine is an adaptation of the all-new Peanuts animated special which aired in February.
It's the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown is a kids' adaptation of the classic animated special. This is a new adaptation, not just a reprinting of one of the various earlier adaptations. (And there's a different adaptation in a hardcover book.)
A Boy Named Charlie Brown: The book adaptation of the first Peanuts film -- the one with the spelling bee! Long out of print, now back in an affordable hardcover!
A Charlie Brown Christmas: A new adaptation for 2001! (Not to be confused with several older adaptations. They just keep readapting this classic in book form.)
A Charlie Brown Christmas in miniature gift book format. This is another new adaptation for 2003. More of a gift item than a kids book; with the built in ribbon bookmark and a metal Christmas tree weight at the end, I'd advise keeping it away from kids who are still in the stick-it-in-their-mouth stage.

A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, a miniature book adaptation of the TV special, new for 2006
It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown: A new adaptation for 2001! (And 2004 brought another adaptation, as a cute little mini hardcover.)
