"'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. Anybody have this or access to it??? (en.wikipedia.org)"

"good luck dude"

"Yeah... I really made this post because I wanted to spread awareness about it not because I thought I had a chance to read it. I think it's absolutely wonderful that the one thing Watterson endorsed was a children's textbook. It really shows the heart of the comic."
* * *
"I kinda want to ask my library to buy it just to see if they can resist laughing at me in the rejection letter."
* * *
"I did some quick checking through OCLC World Cat... Looks like its available in 8 libraries in the US and 2 internationally. All of them seem to be in special collections/rare books and are not available through interlibrary loan. There is a copy in the Library of Congress, for anyone in the DC area who is interested"

"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?
- Were you disappointed to get back to reality?

"Dos notables excepciones fueron la publicación de dos calendarios de pared de 16 meses y el libro de texto Teaching with Calvin and Hobbes (Aprendiendo con Calvin y Hobbes)....
"Un libro de texto oficial para niños, titulado Teaching with Calvin and Hobbes (Aprendiendo con Calvin y Hobbes) fue publicado en edición limitada en 1993. El libro incluye varias tiras de Calvin y Hobbes con lecciones y consejos para los niños. El libro es un objeto casi único, y muy buscado por coleccionistas."

"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."
