Calvin and Hobbes

Calvin and Hobbes Cartoons

By, Bill Watterson

Review written by Donna Whistler

Everyone has their favorite childhood memories. 


One of my personal favorites was reading Calvin and Hobbes cartoons at night while visiting my grandparents. They had one of the books and I read it over and over, and also inspired me to get the rest from the library and read those, too.  Clearly a classic, Calvin and Hobbes books are a fun read for everyone. Not just young readers, the older I have got the more I can appreciate Watterson’s genius for comic writing.

Calvin is a four year old little boy with an extreme imagination and a tendency to get in to trouble. Hobbes is a stuffed tiger, but Calvin thinks of him as his best friend and his imagination creates wild adventures for the both of them.

From creating killer snowmen, playing “Calvin Ball”, messing with their babysitter Rosalyn, or throwing snowballs in July at the neighbor girl, Calvin and Hobbes get into ton of crazy adventures. These collections of cartoons are sure to please a wide variety of readers and are wonderfully hilarious.  

If you are looking for a quick laugh or a lifetime of enjoyment, I recommend these books. They are timeless cartoons great for every generation.
