- Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2024I got this, and all the other Calvin + Hobbes books for my dad, as he used to have a lot of them before my ex stepmother took them in their divorce a few years ago. I grew up stealing those books from him to read, and we had a lot of good memories around those books and reading them together. He loved them, and the comics are still as amazing as I remember them being <3
- Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2024Calvin and Hobbes is a delight to read at any age!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2024This summer my son turned 8. And, he discovered Calvin and Hobbes. He is an avid gamer (switch, steam deck) but he has been laying down his consoles to read Calvin and Hobbes, for hours sometimes! I just love that. He got this book for his birthday along with a necklight to read it in bed. Happy boy and happy mom.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2020I used to read the Calvin & Hobbes books when I was a kid and remember them fondly. I have now bought all of the books for my own kids. We enjoy reading them together every night (I laugh out loud frequently at these strips, so it's something I look forward to as well). My older son is an avid reader, and has already re-read the books we've finished multiple times. He doesn't seem to get tired of them.
The biggest difference I've seen is in my younger son. When I tried reading other books with them at bed time, he'd always wander off or start playing with something else. With Calvin & Hobbes, not only does he stay put (miracle!), but he asks questions about what all the big words mean, and he shocked me the other day when I came across him reading one of these books. Voluntarily. On purpose. With access to plenty of other things to play with.
So yeah, definitely worth buying!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2024Great comic book.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2014As always, great collection by the talented Mr. Watterson. Got this for my kid sister as a birthday present (12 yo) and she loved it. She is very into Japanese cartoons and hentai, so I wanted to give her a solid introduction to American comics (no offense to hentai fans!). Since then I've bought her many more, and she loves reading them to me. Surprisingly, I remember most of them without having read them for years. They're just classics like that, I suppose.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2014I still have a couple of my Calvin & Hobbes books dating back to when I was a kid. My 8 year old daughter got a hold of them, and she has been obsessed ever since. I could not be more thrilled. She is constantly handing the books to me and saying "Daddy, read this one!"...and all these years later, they still bring a smile to my face. Hilarious and some of the most imaginative literature ever, child or grownup. Yes, I said it...EVER!!
I bought her the 3 books that we did not have for Christmas and she's already read them all, cover to cover, several times. She's even been inspired to create her own comic characters.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2023Calvin&Hobbs all time favorite.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly entertaining
I always loved calvin and hobbes, now I'm buying them for my son. Very funny, great drawings. This edition is well printed with clear images and text. It arrived for my son while he was at school so I started reading it and laughed out loud at many of the strips.

5.0 out of 5 stars Un album parmi d'autres, pour moi le 1er
Mon premier C&H en 1991... (Mieux vaut tard que jamais). Demi-format original US.
Cet exemplaire usagé à $1.40 remplace le mien qu'une endouille d'ex copine ne m'a jamais rendu.
Enthousiasmé par ce titre, j'ai lu depuis toute la série et vise la collection complète en boxset, puisque M. Watterson refuse de se remettre à la planche elle restera définitive...
