Light reading for sure - it's the comics, for goodness sake - but a great break from more serious non-fiction I tend to consume. The sequence of strips related to Grandparents Day at Nate's school had me in stitches.

I individually reviewed the two books that were in this compilation but I'm marking it as read on Goodreads so I don't get confused :)

See Big Nate: Welcome to My World and Big Nate: Thunka, Thunka, Thunka

Not great

On the device, there are random gaps of grey screens that skip parts of the book that span up to close to 20 pages. The book itself is good, but you can't even read half of it.

Double sized.

Good color artwork in sequential form. P. S. 38 is being the home of greatness, Nate. The sixth grade is played for laughs
