Great Price for

Homer Price Review



I specifically remember reading this book in the 1950s, particularly the story about the run-away automatic donut machine.

This is a collection of short stories about a midwest community of the 1930-1950. Think Norman Rockwell type images. The author, who illustrated the book is best known for "Make Way for the Ducklings".

I was struck how politically incorrect stories were then but still good.




Homer Price Overview


Six episodes in the life of Homer Price including one in which he and his pet skunk capture four bandits and another about a donut machine on the rampage.

Blast from the Past - D. Bush - Grand Rapids, Mi
This is a real find. I'm 65 and I read this book as a child. I bought a copy to share with my grand-children. Who could ever forget the room filled with donuts or the giant ball of string??? A great classic book of stories!



Wholesome and fun! - Mark Grotto - Houston
My 6yo son and 4yo daughter enjoyed listening to the audio version (read by Mike Ferreri) of this book in the car. It is a collection of stand-alone stories, and the first in the series (with Aroma the pet skunk) started with a fast pace, drawing us listeners in immediately.



Wonderful! - Peter K. Schaffer - Oklahoma City, OK USA
This is a wonderful book for youngsters, particularly boys. The stories are adventurous, creative and wholesome.



Good stories are timeless - Otto J. Drescher - Saint Albans, WV
I bought this book for my 11 year old grandson and he loved it. He thought the story about Homer Price and the Doughnut machine was the best, but of course we had previously visited Krispy Kreme, and saw their machine, and sampled their doughnuts. I read this story many years ago and have read it since as part of a Read Aloud session.
