Homer Price Stories (Abridged) Audiobook

" Reading to my little man. He calls it the Donut Man book. Love it! "

" I was named after Homer's little brother from this book. Kind of have to like it, you know? "

" A clever boy and his everyday adventures in a small town! Fun stories and great illistrations. Since this book is set in the 1940's, some of the situations are not relevant, but still entertaining and fun. A great book for my boys - they loved it. "

" Great funny stories, good for early readers. "

" A great and funny classic. "

" Audio version of this is just terrific...I can still hear the narrator saying, "As regular as a clock goes tick..." "

" DD's 2nd Read-a-Loud for school this year. Hilarious book. The kids really enjoyed the quirky characters and the fun happenings. "

" A favorite of every one of my kids. "

" I loved this book as a kid. What kid doesn't like the idea of a donut machine! These are fun stories that brought back my childhood. "

" I've actually seen a donut machine similar to the one in this book. A cart in Cameron Park, conveyor belts and levers measuring dough, dropping it into a pool of grease - it was endlessly fascinating. "

" I wanted to live in Centerburg when I read this book. I wanted a donut machine. I wanted the book to have more pages. I read it in in a quiet corner of the old Irvington Public Library, curled up in an old, fat leather chair that was hidden from everything else in the world by a wall of books. "

" Old fashioned kids book. Girls barely make an appearance. "

" This was another book that Jack (4 yrs old) & I read together. Some of the humor was a bit over his head, but he particularly enjoyed the donut story and the robber story. "

" This is an old book my mom read to us when we were kids. I read it to my second-graders this year and they LOVED it! It is a must for all children!! "

" Oh man, Robert McCloskey - where to begin? The Homer Price books are absolute bedrock memories for me as a young reader. These books are something you end up inhaling, breathing into yourself and grafting onto your DNA somehow. "

" Was a big fan as a young youth beginning to become a voracious reader. "

" I remember reading this with my brother when I was younger... those were great old days, and I highly recommend this book to any kid! "

" I loved this book as a child! I read it over and over. "

" I don't know what, but something made me think of Homer Price this morning, so I thought I'd add it on here. Loved this big when I was younger. Still like it. Great for reading aloud--especially to children. It's funny and fun. "

" Reading Homer Price takes me back to being a kid, not because my childhood was anything like his, but because this was the sort of old-fashioned stuff I loved to read when I was a kid. "

" Good ol' Centerburg. I love the donut story! And Aroma! And Super Duper! "

" Published in 1943, this book is like a mashup of the unplugged childhood experiences of Henry Huggins meets the Andy Griffith Show with its cast of memorable characters and wacky events. A nostalgic, enjoyable read. "

" One of my all-time childhood favorites! "

" It was funny. The sheriff always gets mixed up in words. It makes me hungry for doughnuts. "
