Sierra's Take

This book is about a naughty boy called Calvin and his stuffed tiger whom he thinks is real. This is actually a 4 book series and it is sooo hilarious. I love Calvin, the things he does and gets himself into and Hobbes. Its a comic book. I can't stop reading it over and over again, even though I know what's going to happen next. Some of my favourite strips are: all of the scenes with the transmorgrifer, Calvin the human slinky and all of the scenes with Rosalyn. Of course, I love all of them. So, the reason I didn't put a 5 for the ratings is that Calvin uses big words sometimes. And when I was 8, I didn't know what they meant. So that made me think, why does a 6 year old boy know so many big words? Of course, an adult wrote them, but I still think Bill Waterson should have been a bit more logical. Apart from those bits, the rest of the book is amazing. I definitely recommend it if you love comics and want to read something funny.

Would you want to have an imagination like Calvin's?

• Yes, definitely!
• I don't know, it kinda depends on my mood
• No, absolutely not
