Big Nate: Thunka, Thunka, Thunka
Sixth grade can be a tension convention for Nate Wright. His baseball team’s just been given the lamest name in Little League history; he’s on the verge of becoming know-it-all Gina’s personal servant for a day; and Spitsy, the closest thing he has to a dog of his own, is in love with a CAT. Yup, Nate’s up to his ears in stress. Luckily, the perfect remedy is close at an empty plastic soda bottle. All Nate has to do is drum it gently against his head—thunka, thunka, thunka—and the pressures of dealing with Coach John, Mrs. Godfrey, and the terrifying Kim Cressly begin to fade away. Who knew an empty bottle could be so therapeutic? There’s only one stress-buster that’s reading Big Nate comics! So sit back, relax, and enjoy this latest collection, Thunka, Thunka, Thunka.

Decent. Can’t believe Nate made it a whole week without getting detention

It was really interesting and funny.

3 stars (I liked it)
Read this as part of the Big Nate: Very Funny!: Two Books in One book. I liked this slightly better than the other two Big Nate books I had read. There were some funny moments and less of the cringy, sexist ones. Still not so sure about having the books in an elementary school library though, I might be doing some weeding!

I think this is probably my favorite Big Nate series book just because it seems to be a lot more funnier than the other Big Nate books. Nate is very curious, brave, and daring.

It's alright, but I still don't get what all the fuss is about. My students devour these books but they seem overhyped.

*I received this book from NetGalley in return for a fair review.*
Back when I used to read comic strips in the paper (and read newspapers, gah, I can still feel the print transferring and smearing onto my hands *shudders*), Nate was one of the comics I read. I have probably read a good many of the collections that have been put out, just not in the collected form - just by reading the strips in the paper. I mention all that because I appear to only actually have one book by Peirce in my catalog marked as read. Odd, that.
No matter. I was offered the opportunity to plunge myself back into this universe, and I accepted the challenge. And do what I sometimes do - the review as notes taken as I read:
hehe - well, the first strip is funny. So, so far I'm glad I got the chance to read this.
Nate: You're a celebrity. All over town you're known as "That guy who hands out lame Halloween candy." - hehe - ack. hehe. See, I'm already giggling, then the punchline came and I actually laughed outloud. Not sure children would necessarily get it, though. Maybe, not sure.
hehe - some relatively mundane strips followed by one that made me laugh out loud again. Good good.
Okay then. A mix of relatively flat comic strips and some rather funny. *nods* Several that made me laugh a little too loudly.
'You might have a future as a mime' - hehehehe
Bah, I was about to mention another funny line. But I can't keep putting them here, or I spoil other people's reads. No, I not be bad. So then, imagine this line here [redacted] - it was hilarious.
Dang, this thing keeps making laugh loudly. hmms. Who would have known, eh? Granted, part of this goes back to my first paragraph wherein I noted that I used to read this comic in the papers. Well, I haven't in a while so 99.9% of these strips in the collection are new to me. Therefore their humor is fresh and exciting.
Shesh. I just keep bursting with laughter.
Oh. I suppose I should mention something about what the book is about. Nate is a student at a school, P.S. something or other. Several reoccurring characters appear, like the teacher he hates, the girl he fancies, the girl he hates, the girl who fancies him, the people who are friends with him, the big sister, the balding fat dad, the dog who is in love with a cat. A cat. (No, I'm not saying that in shock or anything, I'm including the cat in the list of reoccurring characters).
Various story lines are followed, Nate and his attempts to keep from getting detention, his non-athletic/non-musical father who keeps trying to get involved athletically or musically; Nate's whining about Jenny and how she is with another guy and not him (a reoccurring theme in the series, though occurred less often than I expected in this collection). The attempt to write a fight song for the school. The attempt to get a sponsor for the baseball team (Nate visits several places, including a mention of visiting Victoria's Secret, to find this sponsor).
hehehe - oops sorry, here I am trying to break away from rambling by actually writing stuff, and I got interrupted by a really funny bit. Sorry about that. I'll try to contain my laughter (I'd mention what it was that was funny, but I've done that too often and do not wish to spoil to book).
Ah man, it's over. I'm super sad now because the comic strip collection suddenly ended. By the way, apparently this collection is in some way connected to 'amp! COMICS for kids'. To which I note: (1) I'm not a kid so I do not know if kids will enjoy the comic. It's possible. I know one or two punchlines might, possibly, be over their head. Depending on age. And general interests. (2) non-kids, as in humans and not the young of goats, should probably not be adversely impacted by seeing that 'comics for kids' on the label. Because it can be read by adults. At least one. Me. And I'm almost really old. But not yet. Hmm, if I joined the military I'd already have had 20 years in. Right, got distracted there.
I recommend this book to one and all. Who like humor. That includes this humor being presented by way of a youngish child.

My oldest daughter has always been a fan of comic strips like Calvin & Hobbes, Foxtrot, and Peanuts. One of her most favorite strips is Lincoln Peirce’s Big Nate series, so she was very excited when I received the opportunity to read Big Nate: Thunka, Thunka, Thunka.
Nate is a sixth grade boy, and he’s easy for kids to relate to. He has some sarcastic comments to make about school, he hangs out with his friends, and he plays sports.
We have several of the Big Nate books, and what my daughter (and I) like about them is that there is a punchline on just about every page, but Peirce is also building larger storylines.
Thunka, Thunka, Thunka contains several story arcs, including Nate making a bet with nemesis Gina that he can stay out of trouble (and detention) for a whole week, Nate’s Christmas present for his sister, and Nate’s dog falling in love with a cat and taking up knitting. There are even some throwbacks to previous collections.
The humor is quirky and fun. There are some pop culture references, but not as many as other strips like Foxtrot. My daughter loves Big Nate, and as she read through this book, I heard her laughing constantly.
I would recommend Big Nate: Thunka, Thunka, Thunka. You don’t have to have read the other Big Nate comics in order to understand this book; there are some references for fans, but it’s pretty easy to pick up the dynamic between Nate and the people in his life. My daughter enthusiastically recommends this book to anyone!

I can get the appeal for Big Nate for young boys. He's silly, he's always getting into trouble, and he's basically an updated version of Calvin and Hobbes.
I have a real issue though with parts of this book. 1 that the dad is basically a glorified punching bag and an absent parent. There weren't any parts that the dad is shown having a genuine interaction with Nate. Even the "thunka, thunka" part the book is named after, starts nice, but instead of telling Nate it's enough the dad just screams at him so Nate walks away upset. My second issue is the whole Kim Crezzie(Sp?) character. Her constant lack of personal boundaries and that everyone thinks it's cute while Nate is struggling to get free and isn't it sweet she has a crush on him? Personal space and consent are important for both ways, and it was really irritating to read this and realize that I'm supposed to find this funny or enjoyable, and that this is really showing young boys that if a girl has a crush on you and invades your space, you just need to put up with it and get over it. Honestly, I kind of want to drop my rating to 2 stars because of it, but I did find some of this enjoyable, and I do see the appeal to younger kids.

Big Nate: Thunka, Thunka, Thunka is a collection of comic strips that tell short stories and will make you laugh. Nate is in grade 6 and is dealing with the types of problems adolescents face every day. The book is made up of secions that are made up of several short comics. Some of the storylines are Hallowe'en, his baseball team and their name, getting in trouble at school and his dog who is in love with a cat.
There are some stories that refer back to stories from previous books, but you do not need to read them in order to enjoy them. All in all, a funny enough series.

My students love Big Nate books, but this is the first one I have read. And I have to admit...I really enjoyed it! This is not one of the Big Nate novels, but rather a collection of comic strips. And while it's no Calvin and Hobbes (my all-time favorite), it has some of the same elements. Nate reminds me of an older Calvin; he gets in trouble but is well-meaning, has lots of funny quips and one-liners, and thinks school is a waste of time. There are several running jokes (Nate's dog is in love with a cat, Nate's dad is uncool), and I found myself chuckling out loud several times. I can see why my students enjoy these books.

'Big Nate: Thunka, Thunka, Thunka' is another hilarious collection of comics from Lincoln Peirce. I never failt to get some good laughs from Nate and his friends.
This time around Nate's dog, Spitsy, is in love with a cat. His little league team has gotten a new sponsor with a lame name, and the sponsor's daughter is on the team and has a crush on Nate. Nate also has a bet with Gina that he can go a whole week at school without getting detention, which is going to be tough if you know anything about Nate. The title refers to the sound an empty soda bottle makes when you hit your head with it. This is what Nate uses to relieve his stress.
Nate is a funny character. He's always working an angle, or trying to make the best of a situation that he has messed up (like when he buys a book his sister wants for Christmas, and it gets messed up, and he gives it to her anyway). I've been consistently amused by this series and it's a great one for young readers.

Big nate thunka,thunka,thunka is about hallooween and about as always “trying to get Jenny”. Artur is now jennys boyfriend. They love each other, so nates jealousy will never end.
This book belongs to a series, it is 172 pages long. I think this book is a fiction/comedy. This is a very interesting and for some challenging it doesn’t have much bad words but to little ones they seem bad. I recommend this book for kids 7-14.
This book should be good for you because this is wht happens in ........
Big nate thunka,thunka,thunka, he has to deal with gina and his baseballs teams lamest name in history of liitle league baseball and to top it all off his best friend spitsy is in love with francis CAT!!!!!!!!!!! What soothes him is a plastic bottle dribbling this ball on his head helps the pain wash away.
Yes they are human and they do appear in other books for example game on,I can’t take it,from the top etc. The theme is rejection and the moral is to not be like nate, he never follows the rules is that you? or just nate. The setting is a neighborood and it is very present.
I liked it will you?

I’m glad I read this book as an adult. I find it comical now, but as a kid, these books stayed on the book shelf. One thing I love in particular is illustrations because they truly put the book
together. Each little scene box allows the characters to carry conversations with one another but also speech bubbles give readers the opportunity to see what characters are thinking. In the beginning, it’s Halloween and the children are going out for candy, the scene switches to Nate in class receiving a senior citizen project, to him actually interviewing his grandparents. The book isn’t about one set topic, it starts out in October then touches on different holidays. Here the reader is able to see what days are like in gym class, home and other settings for Nate. I like how the author exaggerates the words when characters are speaking or puts certain words in bold. I just loved that you don’t have to visualize the text, everything that the characters are saying is painted on paper for the reader. I think this book would be perfect for 3rd to fifth grade.

The title of my book is Big Nate Thunka,thunka,thunka, by Lincoln Peirce.The genre of my book is realistic fiction because everything that happens in the book could actually happen in real life.There isn’t any fantasy in the book.Big Nate is a kid with black hair and is really dumb. He hates school, he has to do a project on older people,so he asks his grandpa and grandpa for some help,but his gramps doesn’t pay attention and he says some unrealistic things.The story takes place at school and at big Nate's house.he really likes to play football with 2 of his friends.The conflict in the story is man vs man because Nate has 2 problems that the girl that he likes has a boyfriend and that he hates this teacher, but the teacher hates him too.I really liked this book its fun and short and really funny I rate this book a 8 out of 10 I recommend this book for people who don’t like to read long books.This book is for all ages and all sexes it doesn’t matter if your a male or a female.
June 22, 2020
Really 4 1/2 stars. I like this volume quite a bit because Nate isn't being obnoxious or hurtful, other than giving one of his best friends a couple of wedgies. Instead, we see him actually trying to behave [in order to win a bet, but still] as well as suffering from some of the oddest, funniest moments of things going wrong. He's trying to be creative, trying to survive the one girl in existence who actually has a crush on him, and trying to survive being on the worst-named baseball team in the world. Even the things he does wrong start off with good intentions, like the present he tries to give his sister.
I don't think this would be good as the first Big Nate to pick up, but I highly recommend it if you have read any of the comic strip already, to understand the characters and their relationships.

I really liked this book because Nate and Gina made a bet where Nate can't get a detention for a week. If he does he has to be Gina's personal assistant and if Nate does not Gina has to pay him ten bucks. Nate wins the bet and Gina goes to detention. They need a sponsor for their baseball team and they find one but the girl that is mean to Nate has to be on the team. Their team name is cream puffs and every team makes fun of them.

This graphic novel would be well suited for 2nd-3rd graders. One thing that is unique about this series is how it motivates reluctant readers. It is written in the same style as Sunday morning comics,but by putting it in book format, it gets students excited to keep reading and see what happens next. It is also unique that the comic strips do not necessarily go together. They are arranged more like a collection than a story.
Read
January 24, 2020my favorite scene in the book when Nate and Frances get caught playing paper football and the librarian catches then and they go to detention. there is a lot of mood changes in this story like when Nate gets mad at baseball because of the get to worst name ever and he feels good when he's banging an empty 2-liter soda bottle on his head. he Also likes that because it annoys Ginna. I think people who like comics and graphic novels would like this book

Big Nate is a graphic novel and a series about a boy named Nate. His life is crazy! First it funny ,then its sad but then for some reason it gets painful. I would recommend this book to people that like random things shoved into one book. The author of Big Nate is really funny and he is very creative in his writing and in his drawings.
December 7, 2020
Sometimes you just need to relax. For Nate, that means bopping himself on the head with an empty soda bottle. Ah, what a soothing feeling. And with his baseball team being the Creampuffs and Gina trying to make him her personal servant, who would not want a nice relaxing bop! Fun times with Nate and the gang!

Big Nate had to make a project and had to interview an elderly person so he asked his grandparents to help him out. And at the beginning Nate tells his dad that he is a celebrity because his dad hands out lame Halloween candy. And big Nate also know as the guy that gives out nicknames. And at the end he turns in his work to his teacher and hopes to get a good grade
January 15, 2018
Finally Nate has a contest with his worst archenemy, Gina Hemphill-Toms! He never got a detention for a week! Accidents on Mrs. Godfrey, Mr. Staples,and Mr. Galvin. Gina's getting bad luck this instant!
December 11, 2018
I think it was really good but half the pages were white
I choose this rating because I love big nates its funny and it is relatable but this book is the best out of all of them in my mind.

It was a really funny book. I really liked the parts when Nate tries to go detention-free for a week, betting against Gina. Then also the part when Nate's baseball team sponsor is a bakery.
Overall, it was a really funny book and a good one too.

The collection debuts comics from 2011-12. I'm not a big thing of the cross species relationship between Spitsy and Pickles, though. It sounds odd. But hey, I'd you like an egotistical wimp, then look no further, Big Nate is your choice, especially this title.

The cream puffs were funny
