Summary: A great book of fun stories...
Comment: set in a time when having a shunk for a pet was OK, when fried chicken and doughnuts came with every meal and a small town was a safe place to live. Where magazines cost a dime, the sheriff was somebody you could trust and you could still burn leaves! A town of doughnut making machines, mouse traps that don't harm the mice and no lynchings.
For ages 9 and up, a great book for boys and girls. If they, or you, enjoyed it I would also suggest getting 'Centerburg Tales', which has more stories on Homer Price and the folks of Centerburg. Frankly, there is no way to give this book a bad review!

Comment: Hello i first red this book when i was 7 yeers old now i am 46 and a lawyer but i still smile wen i reed about the donut mashine!! i think it is a good book and i am sory mr. McCloskey died today. i wuold like to thank him for all the fun he gav me and i bet lots of other boys and girls too!!! i know God will tak care of him becaus he must of made so many kids happy wif his storys. this is a good book and i wuold recomend it to anyone who likes funny stories about reglar american kids.
Robert McCloskey really did pass away today (July 1, 2003), and I thought it would be appropriate to pay tribute to him and his wonderful work in words I might have used when I first read "Homer Price" in 1964. I'm not quite sure how things are set up in Heaven, but I'd LIKE to think that right about now Mr. McCloskey is having a cozy chat with L. Frank Baum, A.A. Milne, and all the other authors whose works have brought joy to the hearts of children down through the years. Sort of welcoming him to club, as it were.

Summary: Homer Price: A Really Good Book
Comment: I really liked this book. There's nothing really bad about this book. I think this would be a great book for ages nine and up and who likes stories that have problems in it. Every chapter has at least one problem in it. In chapter one Homer finds a skunk and names her Aroma. In chapter two, Super Duper, a comic character, is coming to perform in Centerburg. After Super Duper performs, Homer and his friend ride home on a horse-pulled wagon. Super Duper's car is right behind them but breaks down. Is Super Duper strong enough to push his car?
