While I like the comics Pearls Before Swine, this book is just too thin to be enjoyed. Maybe that's why it's mentioned on the cover that it's a gift book.

The cartoons inside are fully coloured. Most of the cartoon strips are printed on one page or across two pages. That's minutes of reading time.

This book features a collection of Crockydile related cartoon strips that have appeared in the dailies. So there's really nothing new in here.

Personally, I will go for the typical 128 page yearly collection books or treasuries. I believe they make better gifts and are more worth the money, even if they are printed in black and white.

Oh, check out the Pearls Before Swine blog. It's lovely.
