My daughter read every book she could get her hands on. They are the first books that my son showed any interest in reading.... We have a bunch of them, I thought we had them all.

"Teach with Calvin and Hobbes? Sure! Why not!
By L. Jobe (REAL NAME)

"My daughter is a little younger than the age this book is intended for, but she is very much a Calvin and Hobbes fan so I thought I'd give it a try anyway. Her school psychologist told me that Calvin and Hobbes could be used to teach several things which led to a google search and then an Amazon search, where I found this book.

"Now, this book had a shocking price tag and not in my budget so like any mom with a plan, I got it from the library (there are not that many libraries that have it, but a few do- I've been frightened the entire time I've had it that I would damage it and end up with a 1k library bill). However, I've had so much fun playing around with it in the month and a half I've had it!

"Now, enough of my rambling and on to the book. The book is intended for grades 4-8 in the regular classroom or lower elementary for gifted programs. The book is fairly short, and comes in at under 200 pages, but the entire book is packed with no filler. The book has five units with six sections each. Each unit starts with a Calvin and Hobbes strip.

"The first section of each unit after the strip is presented is Vocabulary. Some vocabulary sections contain colloquial terms and figurative language, while others deal with more traditional vocabulary words. There are 3-4 activities in this section.

"The second section of each unit is Comprehension. The comprehension section is pretty traditional and asks questions relating to the strip. This also has a few sections.

"The third section of each unit is Behavior. Starting with the third section of each unit, the text starts to diverge from traditional texts. As anyone who has read a Calvin and Hobbes strip knows, Calvin isn't exactly the model of perfect behavior. The author tries to get students to think about why Calvin approaches situations the way he does and foster discussion over choice.

"The fourth section of each unit is Humor. These sections deal with themes such as language, sarcasm, slap-stick, stand-up, and teasing. These activities relate extremely well with the Behavior section and I can see why this follows it.

"The fifth section is Suggested Activities. These are varied and have a ton of items to work with. They are extensions of the topic that unit's strip talks about. For example, one strip's unit is about bug collections and one of the suggested activities has to do with finding out more information about insects. The great thing about this section is that there are two or three main suggested activities in each section that are spelled out for you. However, the author also gives a list of other activities. These activities range from small to large. In the bug collection unit, she gives suggestions as small as surveying and graphing everyone's favorite and least favorite insects to suggestions as large as making your own insect collection or reading James and the Giant Peach. Each unit is similarly full of suggestions.

"The sixth and final section of each unit is Creative Writing. Since I talked so much about the bug collection unit in the last section, I will just give examples from that same unit for the type of Creative Writing assignments the book has. In the bug collection unit, the students get to write poetry. They write a cinquain and a haiku. Next they write about a time they forgot to complete and assignment or chore and the feelings they had. They also write a journal about Bug Collection day from the viewpoint of one of the people in the story. Last, they summarize the strip. The writing assignments in each unit are different, but there are several in each unit and they are similarly varied. Like in the Suggested Activities section, the author gives more creative writing suggestions in a list.

"It's a fun book and if you are able to get your hands on it, it's got a ton of teaching suggestions."

"RE: Every night before I go to bed I read Calvin and Hobbes.

"Obviously what's crazy about Calvin and Hobbes is how Bill Watterson almost never licensed out his product to any kind of mass consumption. But, you may be surprised to know there was a book called 'Teaching With Calvin and Hobbes' that ran about 1500-2000 copies for a few specific schools up in...North Dakota. It's...an English work-book that centers around a bunch of C&H strips.

"I finally worked up the guts to get my hands on one a few months ago... I'm going to hold onto it for a long time. Maybe some day down the road...I'd sell it, but it also holds a lot of sentimental value because I loved the strip growing up, so there you go....

"It's extremely rare, and I'm thankful I got my hands on one."

* * *

"I so very jelly.... How did you get it for so cheap?"

* * *

"When I first looked, I could only find maybe 3-4 available on the entire internet.... By the time I had the guts to buy one, [one] was already gone, leaving the other two. I debated for a few days, then ultimately decided that...was the lowest I'd ever see it probably for the rest of my life (unless it's a ****ty quality), and if I didn't buy it now, I never would. Last thing I wanted was in 20 years see it...and wonder what could have been....

"It's a neat book."

"Expanded Book Chronicles Search for Bill Watterson, Calvin and Hobbes Creator
Posted by Vince Grzegorek on Tue, Aug 31, 2010 at 1:53 PM

"An expanded version of Looking for Calvin and Hobbes: The Unconventional Story of Bill Watterson and His Revolutionary Comic Strip is now available in paperback. In two new chapters, author Nevin Martell continues his fruitless quest for the elusive Watterson, who grew up in Chagrin Falls and still lives in Northeast Ohio.

"As with the previous version of the story, he ferrets out everything he can — short of an interview with the artist.

"For the new parts, says Martell, 'I got in contact with Watterson's college roommate, acquired a copy of the über-rare Teaching with Calvin and Hobbes, and had a chance to see the first art that the reclusive artist has exhibited publicly in almost two decades.'"

http://www.clevescene.com/scene-and-heard/archives/2010/08/31/expanded-book-chronicles-search-for-bill-watterson-calvin-and-hobbes-creator

Information is published in the revised edition of Looking for Calvin and Hobbes.

"My research for the book officially ended in early 2009, but I never stopped looking for Calvin and Hobbes. I hadn't been able to locate a copy of one of Watterson's rarest licenses – the 1993 book Teaching with Calvin and Hobbes – but I tracked one down a few months after Looking for Calvin and Hobbes hit bookshelves. There were only a limited number published, so it's perhaps the most difficult piece of official Calvin and Hobbes memorabilia to find. Copies routinely sell for over $1000 and there's even a blog devoted to it (teachingwithcalvinandhobbes.blogspot.com). Written by Mary Santella-Johnson and Jan Roebken[1], the project features Calvin and Hobbes strips used to help teach vocabulary, problem solving, and creative writing. There's even a lesson testing imagination, where students need to answer the questions 'Why do you think scientists, inventors and architects need to be imaginative and creative?' and 'Why do people need anesthesia (pain killer)?' The book is dedicated to Watterson himself, '[F]or his sheer genius[2] and insight into childhood.'"

Looking for Calvin and Hobbes: The Unconventional Story of Bill Watterson and His Revolutionary Comic Strip – revised edition. Nevin Martell. Continuum Books. 2010. ISBN 978-1-4411-0685-8 (paperback). Page 236.


NOTES:

[1] The authors of Teaching with Calvin and Hobbes are Linda Holmen and Mary Santella-Johnson. Bill Watterson is the author of the comic strips compiled in Teaching with Calvin and Hobbes. Jan Roebken provided the cover art and supplementary illustrations for Teaching with Calvin and Hobbes.

[2] In the dedication in Teaching with Calvin and Hobbes, the word "genius" is misspelled as "genious".

"My eldest son had difficulty with reading and we were convinced he would never read.... I discovered that there is a book called Teaching with Calvin and Hobbes.... It's lovely for vocabulary and comprehension. Calvin definitely has some personality quirks that I don't want imitated but... he also has some creative qualities that I want my children to embrace.... For reluctant readers it can increase vocabulary and make things interesting enough to guide the reader to bigger and better things."

"Hobbes Stuffed Animal

"Many fans of the Calvin and Hobbes comic strip looked out for Hobbes stuffed animals they could buy, or other products with Calvin and Hobbes on them. However, although he could have made a fortune licensing his creations, Bill Watterson was firmly against licensing and never agreed to the merchandising of his creations.

"This means that there are no licensed Hobbes stuffed animals for sale, nor any other Calvin and Hobbes items other than compilations of the original comic strips, two calendars, Teaching with Calvin and Hobbes, and an art show t-shirt. If you happen to find a Hobbes stuffed animal for sale, or a Calvin & Hobbes t-shirt or other product, it is not licensed and is therefore being sold illegally."

Review is published in How To Reach and Teach All Children in the Inclusive Classroom, 2nd Edition.

"We highly recommend a wonderful book, Teaching with Calvin and Hobbes (1993), by Mary Santella-Johnson and Linda Holmen. The authors use some humorous Calvin and Hobbes comic strips to motivate upper-grade and middle school students while teaching a variety of skills: vocabulary, comprehension, figurative language, and problem solving. Reading and writing skills are the main focus."

"...the only other official piece of licensing besides the calendars and shirt is 'Teaching with Calvin and Hobbes,' containing reprints of strips. This comes from 1993 and Watterson just barely allowed it, after he got a letter from one of the authors describing how she used Calvin to teach to children with special needs. Universal put a legal vise on the print run, restricting sales to classrooms ONLY and producing only 2,500 copies...."

"I often thought how it would be fun to create a Calvin and Hobbes reading 'curriculum' so I was delighted to find out about this textbook from the mid-1990's.

"The Calvin and Hobbes comic strip ran from 1985-1995 and Bill Watterson allowed only two licensed items during that time: a 16 month wall calendar and this book, which was written by a speech pathologist and special education teacher in North Dakota. The license limited the print run of this book to 2500 copies with the stipulation that it only be advertised to school teachers...."

"Because of Watterson's strong anti-merchandising sentiments and his reluctance to return to the spotlight, almost no legitimate Calvin and Hobbes licensed merchandise exists outside of the book collections. ... Two notable exceptions to the licensing embargo were the publication of two 16-month wall calendars and the textbook Teaching with Calvin and Hobbes."

"This is Teaching with Calvin and Hobbes by Linda Holmen and Mary Santella-Johnson. It is a children's language textbook that was developed and written by a speech pathologist and a learning disabilities educator. In the book, Calvin and Hobbes comic strips are utilized in a classic Dick and Jane style to teach vocabulary, comprehension, critical thinking, deductive reasoning, and the form and function of humor...."

"For a few lucky educators and students in the Midwestern United States in the mid-1990s, this must have been a useful and fun book. Published in Fargo, North Dakota, in 1993 under a limited official license from Universal Press Syndicate, it is a children's school textbook written around Calvin and Hobbes comic strips. The strips contained in the book comprise famous Calvin and Hobbes story arcs..."

"Reading with Calvin

"He's a first-grader who hates school, hates girls and has trouble with bullies. He's not any good at sports. He's a constant thorn in his parents' side. And, he has a wonderful imagination.

"Who else could it be but Calvin?

"'Those things sound so negative, but they're not,' said Tioga teacher Linda Holmen, who gave the above description of the comic-strip character. 'They're humorous.'

"Holmen and another Tioga teacher, Mary Santella-Johnson, wrote 'Teaching with Calvin and Hobbes.' The 200-page book is for teaching reading to students in grades four to nine.

"Holmen and Santella-Johnson began using the cartoon characters with children who have learning disabilities and language disorders. They found the students identified with Calvin, Holmen said.

"'The kids got hooked on him and it just wasn't work,' she said. 'Yet, the kids were working.'"
