"Teaching with Calvin and Hobbes (1993) by Linda Holmen and Mary Santella-Johnson. Children's textbook with Calvin and Hobbes comic strips.
"Who Are Calvin and Hobbes?
[Calvin] is a combination of a six year old boy and wise old sage. His imagination takes him to places in another dimension. Enter Hobbes. Hobbes is the consummate best friend, albeit imaginary. Hobbes is a stuffed tiger to everyone but Calvin. To Calvin, Hobbes is an entity. The relationship between Calvin and Hobbes is a perfect fit. Hobbes is the active listener, the clarifier, and in some ways, Calvin's conscience. Together, they ponder the universe, the meaning of life, the reasons for bullies, and whether or not there are monsters under the bed.
p. iv
"How It All Began...
One boy said, 'Calvin makes me see that I can laugh at the stuff that other people always nag me about!'
p. v
"Introduction
We found that not only did our students stay interested, the learning that occurred was permanent. Our students were able to carry over and apply the concepts they learned from Calvin and Hobbes to their world.
p. vi
"Unit 2: 'The Find'
Subtle humor requires higher level language skills.
p. 49
"Unit 3: 'The Christmas Story'
In strip 7(d), what is Hobbes insinuating?
p. 76
"Write a story telling what the 'salamander incident' might have been.
p. 94
"Unit 4: 'The Bug Collection'
What do you think the principal meant when he said they had 'quite a file' on Calvin?
p. 108
"Write a paragraph about the difference between an F+ and a D-.
p. 132
"Unit 5: 'The Report'
Calvin and Hobbes comics contain examples of many different types of humor. Some comic strips may be funny to you but not to your friend. The strips that make you laugh may not even crack a smile from someone else. Many times, we get frustrated and say, 'Don't you get it?!' Remember, different people have varying ideas of what is beautiful, ugly, boring, exciting, or interesting.

"Teaching with Calvin and Hobbes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Author(s): Linda Holmen, Mary Santella-Johnson, Bill Watterson
Illustrator: Jan Roebken, Bill Watterson
Cover artist: Jan Roebken
Country: United States
Language: American English
Subject(s): Speech and language pathology
Genre(s): Children's textbook
Publisher: Playground Publishing
Publication date: 1993
Media type: Print (Paperback)
Pages: 200
ISBN: 1878849158
"Teaching with Calvin and Hobbes is an American children's textbook published in 1993. As a rare piece of officially licensed Calvin and Hobbes merchandise, it is a highly valued collectible.
"Content
Written by a speech-language pathologist and a learning disabilities educator, Teaching with Calvin and Hobbes is a language textbook for elementary and intermediate-level students. Jan Roebken created the cover and additional interior illustrations.
"The book reprints fifty-seven Calvin and Hobbes comic strips, organized into five lesson units. Each unit begins with a series of comic strips that form a story. The five units are:
1. 'The Binoculars' – Calvin breaks his father's binoculars and solicits Hobbes' advice.
2. 'The Find' – Calvin discovers and assembles a dinosaur skeleton, of sorts. Hobbes renders a drawing of the creature.
3. 'The Christmas Story' – As Calvin struggles to be good in anticipation of Santa's arrival, he and Hobbes discuss the philosophy of law and the nature of belief.
4. 'The Bug Collection' – Calvin forgets to do his homework, and rushes to complete it on the way to school. Susie gets sent to the principal's office.
5. 'The Report' – Calvin and Susie are assigned a joint homework project.
"In each unit, questions for comprehension and discussion follow the comic strips:
"In both the 1996 first edition and the 2006 second edition of their book How To Reach and Teach All Children in the Inclusive Classroom, teachers Sandra F. Rief and Julie A. Heimburge 'highly recommend' Teaching with Calvin and Hobbes as an educational resource.
"Rarity
Owing to Bill Watterson's principled refusal to license his comic strip for merchandise in general, Teaching with Calvin and Hobbes is an exceptional item; a license was granted to the authors after they personally communicated to Watterson the success they had using his comic strip to teach children with learning disabilities.
"Published in a limited print run in Fargo, North Dakota, Teaching with Calvin and Hobbes is a very rare and highly sought-after book.
"In the 2010 revised edition of his book Looking for Calvin and Hobbes: The Unconventional Story of Bill Watterson and His Revolutionary Comic Strip, Nevin Martell says that only after a long search did he obtain a copy of Teaching with Calvin and Hobbes, that copies of the book sell for very high prices, and that the book is 'perhaps the most difficult piece of official Calvin and Hobbes memorabilia to find.'
"The book price comparison website Dualj.com, which tracked sale prices of books, recorded that a copy of Teaching with Calvin and Hobbes sold in 2009 for US$10,000.

"In each unit, questions for comprehension and discussion follow the comic strips:
- Do you think Calvin's mother should have told Calvin the truth about his dinosaur? Why or why not? [...]
- Imagining and creating are important and fun, but, when it goes too far, it's time to get back to reality. Do you think Calvin was disappointed when his mother brought him back to reality or do you think he always had an inkling that he was having fun with his imagination?
- Can you think of a time when you were imagining or creating and your mom or dad brought you back to reality?
- Were you disappointed to get back to reality?

"WorldCat lists only ten libraries in the entire world as holding a copy of the book: the United States Library of Congress, five libraries in North Dakota, and one library each in Ohio, California, the United Arab Emirates, and Singapore.
