Have you read this book with your kids yet?

Homer Price by Robert McLoskey is a sweet read along book and read alone introduction to chapter book for a bit older children.  Great for boys and girls the little stories within a story make for great before bedtime reading or any time storytime fits in your day.

Amazon’s description reads:

Welcome to Centerburg!  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.

The comic genius of Robert McCloskey and his wry look at small-town America has kept readers in stitches for generations!

 

The stories are fun, funny, pretty fast moving and very engaging for the parents as well as the kids.

I’m a fan of many of McCloskey’s books and this one ranks right up there. My other favorites:

Make Way for Ducklings   – Make sure you get this one in hardback. It’s a keeper. And buy one for each of your children to take with them when they leave home.  I believe this is one of those books that must be in every home. Yes – it’s that good.

Blueberries for Sal – Another must have. Delightful story and engaging pictures.
