Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Homer Hits A Home Run!
Review: Homer Price offers a funny and refreshing alternative to the current fiction that relentlessly confronts children with contemporary social problems. Now and then it's good for kids to read a book that makes them laugh out loud. Homer's smart and sincere ideas inevitably produce hilarious results. Robert McCloskey's amusing illustrations - Norman Rockwell-style line drawings - add to the pleasure of this book about a bright boy in a small American town.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: for all ages
Review: I don't think Centerburg Tales and Homer Price are only for young people, I enjoy them thoroughly and I am 33 years old now. Have read them several times. - Also great for reading aloud to young people / kids! SUCH fun!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Book for Kids
Review: I first read an excerpt of this book in a basal. My students loved it. I then bought the book so I could read the rest. I read it with my students (5th grade) this year. It was loved by all. It is just a fun book!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very Good Book
Review: I first read this book when I was 9 years old and now Im 11 and I love it. I have read it three times and I still like it. Its very good book that everyone should read.Enjoi!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very Good Book
Review: I first read this in elementary school, but years later I bought it again. The stories have funny twists with great imaginative properties, like the "Ever-so-much-more-so" powder which enhances everything on which it is sprinkled, or the giant ragweed plants which prompt someone to suggest air-conditioning the whole town.

Read it to someone, give it to someone. Should be part of every juvenile fiction library right along side Beverly Cleary, Encyclopedia Brown, and the like.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: I like the book very much.
Review: I first read this when I was about nine. It was one of my favorites. My eight-year-old son has just read it, and agrees. His comments:

My favorite story in the book was the story with all the donuts.

Two generations can't be wrong.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I remember reading this book when I was young
Review: I read and thoroughly enjoyed this book and it's companion "More Homer Price", when I was a boy. I told my sons about it and they are dying to read it too.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Donut Machine story is a children's classic!
Review: I read Homer Price many times when I was young, and the Donut Machine that goes crazy was my favorite...I'm now a dad and want to share this classic with my son

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A childhood classic.....a must read for the imaginative!
Review: I read this book as a child in middle school (6th grade) and it made for some unforgetable and fun reading. I like Homer Price because he is a simple and respectful kid and represents his time in full manor. Respectful interaction with the adults in the coffee shop and the adventures he takes you on making his famous doughnuts is fun for the imagination.
