Highlights for Children

I am sad that this is the only Goofus and Gallant book out there. I looked on Amazon to see if perhaps there was a collection of all the G and G that had ever been published in Highlights, and the only thing I could find was this slim little number.

It would be absolutely fantastic if Highlights could do a collection of all the G and G that were ever published, or at least do collection books by decade or so. Some comic strips have been collected in such a format, organized by year or decade show more or story arcs - you can find such volumes for Garfield, Calvin and Hobbes, for Better or Worse, and so on and so forth.

Yeah, G and G wasn't the standard comic strip, but G and G had always been my favorite feature of the Highlights magazines when I was reading them as a kid, Goofus's dumbassery could make me laugh at times. You can find some G and G strips via Google search, and compare the art styles and how aged some of them are, but it'd be great to see an actual comprehensive collection of that dumbass and his much more thoughtful peer. show less

.This was so entertaining to me as a kid! I read it at least twice, back then. I was curious about what I'd think of it as an adult. I'm not the intended audience. Kids nowadays will probably still love it, though. It's a mix of contemporary (as of the 90s) teens going through silly things, and fantasy-inspired little fables. I was glad I got ahold of it now, and reading it once is enough.

I won Scratch-and-Play Easter Hidden Pictures from Goodreads and Highlights for Children.
My kids are now in their 60s and our family had a subscription to Highlights Magazine. I see the quality has not changed.
These are scratch off cards where the child finds an object and uses a type of scratch pencil (no lead) to find the object and scratch it. This one was Scratch-And-Play Easter Hidden Figures. There are 10 cards in the package; one to use and one to share. Cards were: Have an show more Egg-cellent Day!, Hoppy Easter, Some-bunny Loves You, Donut Worry, be hoppy and You're an IM-PECK-ABLE FRIEND!.
Highlights also has Hidden Pictures Mysterious Ocean Puzzles, Hidden Pictures Animal Puzzles, Hidden Pictures Rainbow Party Puzzles, Dinosaur Hidden Pictures and Unicorn Hidden Pictures. The cost is $7.99 each.
Great gifts for birthday or holiday.
I plan to order from my great grandson for Christmas as he will be a good age for them.
The opinions are my own. 5 star raring. show less

I received a copy of this book. Thank you

This book is great fun to puzzle over. There are 36 puzzles, each puzzle had one Imposter and 12 smaller things to look for. Ex. There is a page with sunflowers, and your mission is to find the 1 daffodil and 12 bees. The illustrations on each of the pages are cute and engaging. This book is a challenge but was a real winner with my 9-year-old friends. It's a great way to occupy some time.
