Books available include:

"In July of 2018, Peanuts signed a Space Act Agreement with NASA and committed to working to bring the joys of space exploration and STEM into the lives of today's kids, and to honor the legacy of Snoopy's history with NASA," says Roz Nowicki, executive vice president, Peanuts Worldwide. "This promotion with one of the nation's most beloved restaurants brings that commitment to kids and families around the country who will be inspired by these fun and educational books."
