Calvin is just a sweet wee boy and he deserves the world. 
Hobbes is a mischievous wee tiger and he deserves the world.

Lots of good wee laughs to have in this book. People need to stop misinterpretating Calvin as being evil like Dennis the Menace or Bart Simpson.

I just love these comic strips - Calvin's imagination, his precociousness, and Hobbes as his best friend is just hilarious, heart-warming and supremely entertaining. This is at least the second time I've read this book, and certainly not the last!

I read this a few strips at a time over a number of weeks. It was fun to re-enter the world of a free-thinking child, a great distraction from everything else in the world...

The first two volumes of Bill Watterson's Calvin and Hobbes in a one-book collection. Even early, the brilliance of the comic strip is apparent.
