Yukon Ho!: Calvin & Hobbes Series: Book Four (Calvin and Hobbes)

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 gunThe 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.

very pleased

I got this, and all the other Calvin + Hobbes books for my dad, as he used to have a lot of them before my ex stepmother took them in their divorce a few years ago. I grew up stealing those books from him to read, and we had a lot of good memories around those books and reading them together. He loved them, and the comics are still as amazing as I remember them being <3

I remember reading this book in elementary school. Thank your for the nostalgia and fun times.

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

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

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.
