"I have all the books too, and am only missing 'It's a Magical World' in hard cover. Otherwise I have all editions, including the British Time Warner pocket books.

"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."

"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..."

"There is a wonderful book called Teaching with Calvin and Hobbes by Mary Santella-Johnson and Linda Holmen that we highly recommend. The authors use very humorous Calvin and Hobbes comic strips to motivate upper-grade students while teaching a variety of skills: vocabulary, comprehension, figurative language, and problem solving."

"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.'"
