The Picks:

Batter Up Charlie Brown HC – Fantagraphics prepares for Baseball season with a new Peanuts collection. Charlie Brown’s love for baseball is boundless despite his not being the best pitcher, batter, or team manager. No matter how many home runs he gives up, how many games he loses, how many errors his team makes, or how many times the game is rained out, he is ready to take the field. This book features three complete stories about America’s favorite sport and star, Charlie Brown, and teammates Lucy, Linus, Pigpen, Snoopy and rest of the gang. With baseball’s Opening Day being this week, this is the perfect gift for any baseball or Peanuts fan.

Tao The Little Samurai Volume 1 Pranks And Attacks GN – Get a jump start on this new series from Lerner Publishing. Tao is determined to become a master of martial arts someday, but right now he is the master of pulling off jokes and pranks! Over the three volumes available this week, Tao tries to concentrate on his lessons as Master Snow’s school, but mischief keeps getting in the way. Then his wandering mind gets him into trouble when he starts having lovey-dovey thoughts about his friend Kat, and his pranks get bigger and sillier to get her attention. Finally, Tao takes on some bullies and tries to teach his cat some kung fu moves. These short but sweet stories will appeal to elementary to tween readers who enjoy silly action stories.
