Features: The Calvin and Hobbes series is a best-selling classic comic in the United States. This book is about going to the North Pole, and it is rich in content, detailed, and illustrated. It is unforgettable for anyone who reads it. In this comic, there are no vague or deliberately exaggerated images. The children in the book are both innocent and adorable, yet mischievous to the point of being exasperating. Their parents, living with such children, are bound to be at their wit's end. The child spends 70% of his time happily living in an indescribable fantasy world, which is also the world of my childhood, still vivid in my memory to this day. The remaining 30% of the time, the child lives in the real world, where he has to coexist with many unnamable "creatures" (such as teachers, girls, and the bad kids at school). He always needs to escape from the real world into the fantasy world, which is why the silly tiger Hobbes appears. He is gentle and kind, much smarter than the child, and always corrects the child's self-importance in a teasing, cute, and clever way.
