Attack of the Deranged Mutant Killer Monster Snow Goons

My almost eight year old grandson, who is not an avid reader, loves the Calvin and Hobbes books. His older sister knew that this would be a wonderful Christmas gift and she was right. His parents approved enthusiastically. Great choice for a school ager who's been so so about reading.!!

Brilliant, as usual
The Calvin and Hobbes collection is filled with all the usual inventions and wild imagination as Calvin hurtles through the forest on his cart or sled, torments neighbor Suzie or drives his parents up the wall. The title comes from the hilarious serialised strips where Calvin's snowmen come alive and chase after him. It's absolutely a must-have, must-read!

And I DO believe that Hobbes comes alive when no one else is around.

Depressing...
An only, lonely child. Bullied at school. Clearly a genius level intellect, he's unchallenged and stifled since nobody, not his parents, and not even his teacher, recognizes this. A father who's always too busy to spend any time with his son. A father who's often seen, get this, reading --*reading* -- rather than paying his only son some attention! A mother, who literally, in strip after strip, throws him out the door. Throws, as in "child flying through the air". A child, and a small child at that, allowed repeatedly to wander alone through the woods! A child denied even a pet. His only friend -- a stuffed tiger.
Makes the "Peanuts" look like "The Family Circus".
