tuckeralmengor's review against another edition
5.0
I still remember the first time I read Calvin and Hobbes (one of the books that fueled my love for reading). I had snuck into my parents room to look for snacks and I found this book. For the next half hour, I sat there and read. Today, years and years later, I still read this book on a weekly basis. Thank you Bill Waterson for creating a masterpiece that in part lead me to the place I am now

A great collection of the ultimate comfort comic. It embodies most (if not all) of those weird quirks that we all have as toddlers/young kids. And somehow it manages to do this in very short newspaper strips.

Regarding the kindle edition...
I enjoyed reading these comics again. I read them as a kid, and now as the parent of a six year old myself, I find them even funnier.
I was disappointed that I could not double tap to zoom in to each frame as Amazon advertises its comics are enabled to do. I would like to see the Calvin and Hobbes kindle editions updated so that this is possible. The colored Sunday strips' texts were somewhat hard to read due to the font size. The page was not even zoomable with the normal gesture controls.
The 2 star rating is for the format of the kindle edition, not the actual content.

Some funnies collected from the other collections of Calvin & Hobbes, this essential guide contains thoughts, by kids and tigers, on learning, life, and love.
