Sherman's Lagoon has been around for fifteen years and this giant treasury brings the latest strips and some reprints with Sundays in full color. Sherman and they gang are up to their usual tricks and some of the various story arcs include:

The speed reading contest
The trip to the Ganges
Hawthorne's Lagoon tour, coffe shop, health club, casino, bakery
The mystery of dead Roscoe
Sherman's talk show
Megan's baby
The Scotland trip
Barnacle the purple arthropod

And many more. So join the sharks, turtles, crabs and polar bear in a tropical paradise where walk on characters seem to get eaten very often.

I'm a Sherman's Lagoon fan, so I may be a bit biased, but I found this Treasury hilarious!! They've certainly put the best bits in, I was laughing on every page! I also found it really good value for money - over 200 pages of top quality comic strips (Sunday strips were also in colour which was great!). Fantastic buy all round!!

I keep several of the Sherman's Lagoon books in my guest rooms for the enjoyment of my visitors. They think it is great to have a book to look at that doesn't require getting involved in a plot line and a book you can easily look at for a few minutes and put down for another day. I like that the cartoons are relevant to our beach lifestyle here in Florida. The books contain cute clean humor that is best appreciated by adults and older children.

Extremely cleverly cartoon with a wonderful "cast" of believable sea creatures. Pure delight and full of great humor.

Shermans Lagoon has to be the best comic I have ever read! (and trust me I read a lot of comics) This book deserves no less than 10 stars,it is so funny because of its cast of characters. They range from a fish genious to a big mean giant squid. But the top character has to be Hawethorne the hermit crab who seems to endlessly take advantage of Sherman the shark. BUY THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't say enough good things about Sherman's Lagoon. This is a laugh out loud book, and there are a lot of toons in this volume. If you have never read Sherman's Lagoon go with the first book to get some background on the characters then just go with the flow. After you are tuned into how everyone relates any one of the Sherman books are excellent.

This is a really fun compilation. They did a great job selecting the cartoons for this one. If they start a thread, they finish it.

One word describes the book--------FUNNY, FUNNY, FUNNY----OK, that's three words.

I love these - such a fun spot on the comics page. Hawthorne reminds us that sneaky lives everywhere.
