This part contains Calvin's adventure being fighting Dad's leaf pile, an adventurous night of running from Rosalyn the babysitter, and Some experiences cheating and not paying attention in school with Mrs. Wormwood. Moe the playground Bully faces off with Hobbes, Calvin tortures Suzie in the school cafeteria with all kinds of disgusting comments and in late fall, Calvin really hopes for snow. There are all kinds of little boy misbehavings like fighting giant bed bugs, daydreaming, acting like a monster, acting like a whale in the bathtub and flooding everything, and making counterfeit money. It really is a taste of Autumn and School and Calvin just trying to get through it all with his good friend and confidant Hobbes.

Calvin and Hobbes is my favorite comic I grew up reading it every day in the newspaper funnies. I loved the style of the illustrations and the characters. I didn't spend much time trying to figure out if Hobbes turned back and forth into a toy tiger or if he was in Calvin's imagination. That didn't really matter. I just loved the humor and the irony of pointing out Calvin's blind spots. I hope you enjoy it, and I hope you'll tune in for my reading of the rest of the collection. If you have reluctant readers, comics can be a way to break through that. The combination of pictures and short form narratives can help incentive kids who don't love reading yet to find some motivation to keep trying. It's a lower barrier to entry, but I believe that Bill Watterson's writing doesn't lower the bar on intellectual and cultural value. This book includes several stories that span more than a single daily strip and can help children continue on farther than they might if you've given them a certain amount of time or page goal. I hope this book makes Calvin and Hobbes fans of your kids. The strip was in syndication for many years, so there are lots of books that can be found at the library or picked up and used online, for not too much money. It's a comic that affected me deeply as I grew up. I hope you'll be motivated to share more of it with your kids.
