"10 Things You Didn’t Know About 'Calvin and Hobbes'
By Tom Hawking on Nov 14, 2013 12:15pm
"There’s a Calvin and Hobbes textbook.
"It’s called Teaching With Calvin and Hobbes, and it was published in 1993 by a small press in Fargo, North Dakota. Apparently Watterson was persuaded to make an exception to his general refusal to license his strip after the authors communicated with him directly, and described how using the strip had assisted in their lessons for children with learning disabilities. There were only 2,500 copies printed, and these days, their rarity means they’re worth a small fortune — a copy sold for $10,000 in 2009."

"Inside the complicated world of Calvin and Hobbes GIFs
"Since launching the blog in July, he's collected more than 5,000 followers. Each GIF averages around 250 notes on Tumblr. Yet despite the positive feedback Linn has received, it's been difficult to enjoy the success without wondering if Watterson approves.
"The iconic illustrator has never officially licensed his products except for his comic book collections, two calendars from the late 1980s, and a children's book, Teaching with Calvin and Hobbes. And while he spoke highly of the art form in 1989 interview, Watterson has never allowed for his comics to be animated."

"Teaching with Calvin & Hobbes: one of the rarest and most expensive textbooks ever published
"It’s well-known that Bill Watterson didn’t like the idea of licensing his beloved comic book characters from Calvin and Hobbes out for merchandising sales. Over the years this meant that little official Calvin and Hobbes merchandise exists except for some stamps, 2 rare 16-month calendars from ’88-’89 and ’89-’90... and the rare textbook you see in the images in this post.
"The textbook was not written by Bill Watterson but instead he licensed his characters to Linda Holmen and Mary Santella-Johnson so that they could base each lesson in the textbook around his comic strip. The textbook is extremely rare and is known in book collecting circles as one title that carries with it a very high price. Copies available can range between $1250 to $34,000 (or higher!)."

"Calvin taught me to explore the other ~249, 998 words in the English language (excluding inflections and double meanings). And I am not even counting words like transmogrifier.

"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.

- 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?

"A. Teaching with Calvin and Hobbes...
"A children's school textbook – this is the only officially licensed book ever produced. It used the comic strips to cover topics like vocabulary, comprehension, behaviour and humour and creative writing. This book is no longer in print – you can only buy it second hand, and the price keeps on rising!"

"...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...."
