Just a Part - Calvin and Hobbes - Teaser
Yukon Ho, a Calvin and Hobbes Collection by Bill Watterson
Coming July 19th!
Calvin and Hobbes is one of my favorite comics I grew up reading 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. The anticipation versus reward and complete irony in this particular Sunday strip is an all-time favorite of mine. 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 incentivize 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.
