Yukon Ho!: Calvin & Hobbes Series: Book Four

I first came across Calvin and Hobbes in my adult life. Due to various house moves etc my collection mysteriously vanish. So I'm starting again. One of the best comic strips ever

What a cartoon. I laughed out loud every other page. Bill Watterson uses quirky drawings, wit, and a fantastic sense of humour to create argubly the best cartoon ever drawn/written. This is probably the second best collection of them all, and a great place to start if you're new to the scene. Just some of the many adventures Calvin and Hobbes have in this book are: - Calvin finds a magic carpet (The hall rug) - Calvin and Hobbes face off against arch-rival Susie Derkins in a water fight - The family go camping, and it rains the whole week. - Calvin and Hobbes test out Calvin's latest invention, a time machine - Calvin 'secedes' from the family and attempts to migrate to the Yukon with Hobbes - Calvin loses Hobbes in the woods - Rosalyn babysits Calvin again - Calvin brings Hobbes to school - Calvin's Uncle Max visits - Calvin works with Susie on a school project - Calvin and Hobbes have fun with a transmogrifier gun The beauty of Calvin and Hobbes is that it can appeal to anyone and everyone, Children, Adults, or O.A.Ps. Get these books while you can, they are true classics of a great cartoon still printed in national newspapers, including The Daily Express. The book arrived in just 2 days using free super-saver delivery.

Yukon Ho! Is an excellent entry into the C & H graphic novel series. Illustrations are all in black and white over its 126 pages but this doesn't matter at all and it's all great fun and a very funny escape. -JCM

Fab books, all Calvin and Hobbes cartoons are a great insight into your growing up or your life as a parent. Perfectly thoughtful with a good amount of sentimental feeling and fun. Should be something every kid reads growing up or every parent reads.

One of the older publications of Calvin and Hobbes and just as fantastic as ever. Its got some really witty strips with a dash of philosophy too. Recommendation: Its a Buy.

Best series ever

You can never get too much of Calvin & Hobbes. Have one, have all. These books are to be treasured.

OK.

We all love Calvin and Hobbes. Only issue was it came damaged. Good news is that, they exchanged it and that made me happy.

Tous les "Calvin et Hobbes " sont géniaux! J'ai mis un moment à y "entrer",car on peut avoir l'impression que ce sont des livres pour enfants;mais j'ai été "initiée" par un" amateur éclairé",et j'ai pu apprécier la finesse,la sensibilité,la justesse,l'émotion et,bien sûr(aussi!)l'humour de ces "comics".bien sûr,un enfant peut aussi les lire,mais,franchement,je ne pense pas qu'il puisse l'apprécier ds tt sa valeur et,osons le dire,sa profondeur. Peut-être parce que,comme Calvin,j'ai été un enfant unique,les rêves de ce petit(qui n'est pas un ange),et son amour pour sa peluche "vivante",sa solitude aussi,qui n'est pas tjrs heureuse,tout cela,je le trouve au moins aussi émouvant qu'amusant.La confrontation/complémentarité de la joie de Hobbes et du pessimisme de Calvin ,traitée avec légèreté,est souvent profonde(leurs noms sont déjà un progamme!!) Au risque de paraître pédante,je trouve que les textes en v.o. sont meilleurs et plus pittoresques;qqs mots m'échappent,ms ils se devinent! Vs avez deviné que je conseille cette lecture:quand vous y serez entrés,vous n'aurez plus envie d'en sortir! La Patte d'Ours.

Good reads. Funny. Worth it. Original Print from publisher.

I started reading Calvin and Hobbes as a young girl in the LA Times and Daily Herald and looked forward each week to the Sunday Funnies…remember those?? I kept reading C&H in college always love Calvin’s creative 5yo imagination. Then I started having kids. I bought them to share with them my love for Calvin and Hobbes, however, one of my boys was diagnosed with dyslexia and his love for reading faded really fast. Trying to reignite some kind of love for books, I gave him Calvin & Hobbes books. I knew they were making a difference when I would find him curled up reading one of these books. I don’t think he understood everything he was reading, but I knew that would be fixed in time. I’d also read them together, with my other kids, and it didn’t take long before we were all laughing at Calvin’s crazy thought process and reasoning. I’m pretty sure this sone of mine secretly wished he was Calvin. I would strongly recommend this book and all of the Calvin and Hobbes collection to any struggling reader. They’ll have a friend that they can relate and be able to relax as they get their creativity and imagination back. You’ll never stop laughing and you’ll never stop loving Calvin and Hobbes!!

Das schöne bei dem Heft ist Vorneweg das Yukon Ho Lied, welches so als Strip meines Wissens nie abgebildet wurde.
