Now an animated series with Paramount+ and Nickelodeon!

Big Nate. He thinks big. He talks big. He acts big. And the Big Nate: I Can't Take It, featuring our mischievous middle-school hero, is big fun.

Life can be stressful for Nate Wright. At school, Mrs. Godfrey makes every day a nightmare. At home, he's stuck between Ellen, his incredibly annoying older sister, and Dad, perhaps the most clueless parent of all time. And don't get him started on Gina, the ultimate teacher's pet, or Artur, the unassuming exchange student who bests him at every turn. It's enough to make even a can-do kid like Nate scream: "I CAN'T TAKE IT!"

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

The latest Big Nate collection of comic strips doesn’t break a lot of new ground: Nate drives Mrs. Godfrey crazy in class; Nate fails spectacularly at sports; Nate thinks he’s hot stuff with girls; Nate gets into crazy adventures with his friends Francis and Teddy; Nate wishes his father were cooler. But familiar territory is what makes Big Nate so much fun. ­Readers who ­discovered the series through Peirce’s graphic-novel hybrids may not be aware that the strip is more than 20 years old. Older children and young teens will appreciate Nate’s middle-school silliness and admire his bravery and frank (occasionally thoughtless) honesty, though parents might wish for fewer fat jokes about Nate’s teacher. In addition to the graphic storytelling, Nate’s cartoons interspersed among Peirce’s panels could provide teachers and librarians with great opportunities to incorporate this series into programs or lessons on cartooning and writing. Grades 3-6. --Snow Wildsmith

Review

“In addition to the graphic storytelling, Nate’s cartoons interspersed among Peirce’s panels could provide teachers and librarians with great opportunities to incorporate this series into programs or lessons on cartooning and writing.” (Snow Wildsmith, Booklist)

“…if you’re looking for a new series to introduce your kids to this upcoming holiday season, chances are they’ll really like these collections.” (Rich Johnston, Bleeding Cool)

“Big Nate is super funny. I love these books.” (Appeal-Democrat)

Offensive. Perpetuates misogyny.

Offensive. Perpetuates misogyny.
Where does misogyny come from? What perpetuates the patriarchy? How about children’s lit like this? I try to be aware of what my kids are reading but there are not enough hours in the day to screen literally everything they bring home. So let me save you some time. Do not buy. Offensive to women.

As a 6th Grade child from Singapore, school can be especially stressful. In Singapore, when you reach 6th Grade, you will have to take a national examimation before moving on. Teachers give lots and lots of homework which take hours to complete. Not that only, the teachers organise plenty of remedial lessons which last all the way to the late afternoon. Under this tremendous amount of stress, it is not unusual for one to crack like Nate.

Now on to the book, the illustrations are simple, but, elaborates every situation or feeling clearly. The simplicity of the illustrations tell the story really well. And from the perspective of a child, Nate's homemade comics are irresistable. The funny situations Nate and his gang get in male this book hilarious and simply relatable.

My seven-year-old has an ongoing school assignment to read twenty minutes a day. She chose to stark with Big Nate books for this project. As a parent, I couldn't be happier with the Big Nate series of books. She's enjoying the books so much that she doesn't want to put them down. The intermittent laughter coming from her reading is an extra perk, too! (How the boys were playing with Barbies really cracked her up!) Keep popping these books out, Lincoln Peirce, because I'm going to have a very disappointed child once she gets to the last book available.
