Celtalitha: My smart, introverted, quirky ten year old has been obsessed with these books for two years now, and reads them over and over, both with me and alone.
Calvin and Hobbes are timeless. Get ‘em all.

John E. Lincoln: Always love these books, a collection of comic strips of Calvin and Hobbs, a precocious boy and his stuffed tiger that takes on an imaginary life of his own in all kind of weid and comic adventures. And vignettes by patient parents.

Charles Domanski: If you like Calvin & Hobbes, get this book, as a matter of fact, buy them all. You won't be sorry.

Lisa: I heard great stuff about these comics. I'm not a comic reader but thought my 5 year old would like it. She doesn't. It's far to old for her. And I didn't feel the desire to read it. It didn't grab me. But hey ho. I tried something new. It's now on my book shelf in case my kiddie decides in the future it is her thing.

JKGVGES: My 6 year old loves these. He’s actually got a bit of a political mind so he also picks up on the humour that I never did as a kid. Highly recommend for any age group.

Richard M: arrived ahead of expectation, had one blip where I recieved and email from them where I thought the order had been cancelled. Luckily it was my mis-translation of their message. Book arrived in great condition :)

Robin: I 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!

Gustavo_R: If you're a fan of the series then this is a great book to get. It's in excellent condition and came very fast. There isn't much to say except that I enjoyed it when I was young and now my son is enjoying it. The supplier took care in shipping it so it came in without any damage.

Rachel: Sons absolutely love Calvin and Hobbes (ages 9 and 10). This one was a super hit at Christmas as it was one they had not read before. Son who did not receive it stated later that he wished that he had gotten it instead of his brother. I find myself getting caught up reading it on occasion. And for the price I paid? A steal! I bought another on in case I needed an emergency birthday gift during the year.

I had to get this to my great niece who's going on 12 to show her what she missed being born so late.
