Where you can win a hundred dollars by eating all the doughnuts you want; where houses are built in a day; and where a boy named Homer Price can foil four slick bandits using nothing but his wits and pet skunk. Readers join Homer Price in six preposterous tales that take a good look at the face of Midwestern America through humorous and affectionate eyes. Young and old will find these tales a treat. The literature guide will also bring the study of this book to life. While reader tastes are far too varied for us to ever call a book a "sure thing" for everyone, literary awards can offer useful signposts...
I think I have one more story and then I am done with Robert McCloskey's catalog. It was been wonderful to read all these stories. These are cute stories about Homer and Robert McCloskey paints middle American in the 40s so well. They are funny and I think the younger kids would really enjoy them and others too.
Shelve Centerburg Tales: More Adventures of Homer Price
The sheriff, however, accepts his loss with dignity, as he was best man at their wedding and they will invite him to dinner every Thursday night. Just a moment while we sign you in to your Goodreads account. Where did all that social satire come from? I don't remember that being there when I was nine. "The Case of the Cosmic Comic" is dark, showing the shattering of a young boy's dream of his hero.
This is about Centerburg and Homer Price who makes his residence there. The town is rather funny and Homer is dependable and a fix-it kind of guy. Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read.

It was there that he got the idea for Make Way for Ducklings, which won the Caldecott Medal in 1942. During World War II, he was a sergeant in the Army. Stationed in Alabama, he was assigned to draw training pictures.
While there, they get to see a movie & meet a star. One character has to crank his 30 year old car to start it. They're, short, fun, & I enjoyed them as a kid immensely. Not quite as good as The Mad Scientists' Club, but close.

I don't remember loving this as a child, but then, I probably thought it was too much of a boys' book. The irony is, that it isn't really even so much a kids' book. We offer thousands of quality curricula, workbooks, and references to meet your homeschooling needs.
Homer Price is the fictional all-American boy of the 1940's. He lives two miles outside of Centerburg, Ohio, at the intersection of routes 56 and 56A. He helps his parents take care of their tourist court and in his free time, assembles radio sets. While these "tales" are not perfect , they are very much of their time and place and usually quite funny.
I'm afraid that his childhood self would dislike or pity the grownup, given the changing generations that have come and gone. To ask other readers questions aboutHomer Price,please sign up. To see what your friends thought of this book,please sign up.
The last story has modern manufacturing techniques being applied to housing. The trees were all cut down & 100 identical houses were quickly built. In the end, everyone seems happy, but there are plenty of digs at postwar housing to go around.
Don't recall them as a kid, but I wouldn't have gotten them then. Anyway, there's enough here to keep even adults interested at times. It seems as if they're available in ebook format, too. Listening to them as an adult, far removed from the period in which they were written, was even more entertaining in some ways. Comics were a dime & Homer's dad runs a service station. Homer rides into town in a horse-drawn wagon with his friend Freddy & his little brother to pick up a box at the post office.
This is a very sweet book that made me think of the Andy Griffith show. Life seemed to be so much simpler back in those days. If you think of Opie and his life in Mayberry, you'll get a pretty good idea of what this book is like.
McCloskey's wife and eldest daughter Sally are reputed to be the models for little Sal and her mother in Blueberries for Sal , a picture book set on a "Blueberry Hill" in the vicinity. Three others of his picture books are set on the coast and concern the sea. I enjoy children's classics on sleepless nights when I can't relax.

This book has 3 more charming stories of his adventures in his small town. Aside from a few words we use differently now, I think these stories have ages relatively well for being written in 1951.
