June 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Tivola Publishing, award winning publishers of children's edutainment CD-ROM games, announced today that "PEANUTS: Where's the Blanket Charlie Brown" hits national retail shelves this week. Major retailers that carry the CD-ROM game include ToysRus, Shopko, ZanyBrainy and the Musicland Group.

Linus' security blanket is missing and it's up to you and the PEANUTS gang to track it down. Designed as "Play-Story," this new interactive game allows youngsters to play as Lucy or Charlie Brown. With Snoopy, players may discover hidden clues as they explore the library, drop into computer camp and catch the "Great Houndini's" magic show as they play and search for clues to find Linus' blanket.

"We are thrilled to publish a product that measures up to the high standards of one of the most important licenses and greatest character-worlds ever created," comments Tivola CEO Carlo Voelker. He further says: "The timeless concepts of Charles Schulz combined with Tivola's genius for interactive storytelling makes for an incomparable product."

"The PEANUTS gang and Tivola are a perfect fit," said Rita Rubin, Senior Vice President of International Licensing. "We are pleased to bring new, innovative and educational products to our loyal PEANUTS fans of all ages."

Snoopy fans of all ages will enjoy the timeless humor of PEANUTS as they learn valuable lessons through wit, humor and heart.
