A paper back version of the some of the strips from the first Calvin and Hobbes book. Small enough to fit in a bag, it can cheer you up on the train or bus. I read the whole thing in an hour and laughed all the way through. Great for anyone who hasn't read Calvin and Hobbes before.

I have the whole set of Calvin and Hobbes books from years ago, but my 9 1/2 year old daughter wanted to have her own.
So got her this for Christmas, and she loves it. She never realised how funny a book could be.
They always made me laugh and now a new generation are finding them funny and laughing too.

Great little book of Calvin and Hobbes, funny, thoughtful, a deep satire on God, religion, society and tigers.
Made me laugh until I stopped.

I bought this book for my husband, but all the family just loves it including my 5 year old daughter who tries to read it herself. Also the delivery was quick.

Once again the compilation of Bill Watterson's wonderful drawings and text keeps you reading and re reading, the excellent drawings and brilliant text are a cartoon cultural gem.

quite a small little book however, still Calvin & Hobbs though so a cute inexpensive gift

I bought this because many previous reviews refer to essays by the author [and some coloured images.] but this copy contains only cartoons that are available in other collections. Calvin & Hobbes are wonderful, and this is a smaller format than the other collections, just so long as you know what you're getting...

Bill Watterson's 'Calvin & Hobbes' are one of the most delightful cartoon creations...ever. Calvin is the very model of childhood innocence, imagination, and inquisitiveness. I have a 4 year old cousin whom I am going to mold in Calvin's image - he is so delightful a character. Where would Calivn be without Hobbes? His ever present animal companion. The pair wax lyrical on matters philosophical, political, and psychological. Calvin & Hobbes can be consumed en masse or in bitesize chunks - either are equally rewarding. I suggest a few strips each night before bed, to send you to sleep with a chuckle.

what is lightly regarded as the first collection of the duo, this is on a par with the other (but far too few) collections. calvin and hobbes is written by the most humourous man that ever roamed the earth and i am in no doubt that in some countries it is probably punishable by death not to have read at least 4 of these brilliant books/comics, sadly though in most democratic nations the punishment is only inadequacy compared to those who have seen the light and therefore ostrasisation and inevitable loneliness and singledom wiping out their species leaving finally, one day only those chosen many who have entered the garden of eden.

do the right thing - read Calvin & Hobbes... ... before its too late
