Customer Reviews

The donet mishing is going wakow, how can it be fixed.
Homer price is a book full of little storys. My favorite one is where the donut michin would not stop making doanuts and a braclet was in one of them on acsident. THere are lots of stories in it. Theres one where tow people are fiting over a women and they win the women if there ball of string is longer. The women enters the race to. There is one where Homer is a Hereo. I was reding this for battle of the Books and this was for the grad leavle 7 but evrybody who read it(at least my mom and I) ageed that it was a grade leavle 4. This book is great and easy to read so go get a copy and start reading.

A great book of fun stories...
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!

Ths book is realy really good
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.
