Description
About the Book
"Calvin, the six-year-old dirty tricksmeister and master of indignation and his warm, cuddly philosopher sidekick Hobbes, a tiger whose idea of adventure is to lie on his back by the fire and have his stomach rubbed--captured the hearts, the minds, and, most of all, the funny bones of America."--Publisher's description.Book Synopsis
Explore the wildest corners of Calvin's imagination in this large-format treasury--collecting The Revenge of the Baby-Sat and Scientific Progress Goes "Boink" with full-color Sundays, epic snowball fights, and the chaos of duplicators and transmogrifiers. What do you get when you mix a wildly inventive six-year-old with a sarcastic tiger, a snow goon army, and a duplicator gone rogue? The Indispensable Calvin and Hobbes is an essential treasury for fans of Bill Watterson's iconic comic strip. This large-format collection features the complete content of Revenge of the Baby-Sat (strips from December 5, 1988 to September 10, 1989) and Scientific Progress Goes "Boink" (strips from September 11, 1989 to July 15, 1990), including black-and-white daily strips and full-color Sunday pages. Join Calvin and Hobbes as they build mutant snowmen, debate life's mysteries from the treetops, duplicate themselves with chaotic consequences, and challenge all known rules with the creation of Calvinball. Watterson's signature blend of sharp wit, philosophical insight, and heartfelt storytelling captures the joy and absurdity of growing up. Features include:- Every strip from Revenge of the Baby-Sat and Scientific Progress Goes "Boink"
- Black-and-white daily strips and full-color Sunday comics

It's wonderful! My nephew has been reading it and laughing for days! The rereading value is great, and it has really good vocabulary and intelligent dialogue and problems. Great for ages 6-99
