The result was Lentil, the story of a boy and his harmonica in a typical Midwestern town. He returned to New York, where Viking Press acquired the book. He then got a job in Boston, assisting Francis Scott Bradford in making an enormous mural of famous people of Beacon Hill.

And the illustrations done by the author are some of the best I have ever seen! Parents everywhere should add this book to their child's collection. Robert McCloskey made such great books for kids. The majority of McCloskey's books are written with very young children in mind, and they're all classics, deservedly so.
The 1940s and 50s are so much fun in fiction! What a sweet book filled with larger-than-life characters and the sweet taste of times back when things weren't so rushed and full of too many commitments. As an adult, I enjoyed the wonderful nostalgic feel, while I can see many a kiddo laughing at the town's antics. I remember reading the Mousetrap story in a basal reading text as a student and really enjoying it. Homer Priceby Robert McCloskey tells the story of a boy living in Centerburg, Ohio. Along with a cast of unforgettable characters, Homer gets caught in some outrageous situations that include comic books, unstoppable doughnut machines, a better mouse trap, and even robbery!

After the war, he continued to write and illustrate children's books including Blueberries for Sal, One Morning in Maine, Time of Wonder, and Burt Dow, Deep-Water Man. Time of Wonder was awarded the Caldecott Medal in 1958, making McCloskey the first artist to receive this honor twice. In 1974, he was awarded the Regina Medal by the Catholic Library Association for continued distinguished contribution to children's literature. I loved this book ever since grade school, and The Doughnuts is the tale I enjoyed most. I remember that my teacher read this book in a way that made the characters come to life for me; especially the sheriff, who gets his words a bit twisted every now and then.
I don't remember loving this as a child, but then, I probably thought it was too much of a boys' book. The irony is, that it isn't really even so much a kids' book. We offer thousands of quality curricula, workbooks, and references to meet your homeschooling needs.

You can even plan a presentation if you’d like for relatives or friends. Publishing a book involves a lot of counting too, and when we counted up the number of lines of type and the number of pictures and the number of pages, we found that there was some space left over. Just enough space for the picture of the robbers in the bed. I was just about to go into the army and I had to rush to get the picture finished.
Sometimes he is also hired by his uncle to tend to the labor-saving devices in his cafe and mix doughnut batter. His main job is helping out in his father's business, a motor court, where Homer also resides. If you haven't read this since you were a kid, pick it up. It'll bring back great memories of your childhood reading, but will be much more than just a nostalgic trip back to your old bookshelf. These stories are fun and imaginative, but they also have teeth. Reading it today, I realise that the stories really aren't about Homer's adventures so much as his interaction with the townfolks.
The lazy sheriff with his spoonerisms could get old quickly, but I didn't mind them in these stories. The crazy uncle with his penchant for gadgets was fun, too. Centerberg is obviously built just to make Homer shine, but it's all in fun.
Don't recall them as a kid, but I wouldn't have gotten them then. Anyway, there's enough here to keep even adults interested at times. It seems as if they're available in ebook format, too. Listening to them as an adult, far removed from the period in which they were written, was even more entertaining in some ways. Comics were a dime & Homer's dad runs a service station. Homer rides into town in a horse-drawn wagon with his friend Freddy & his little brother to pick up a box at the post office.
I think I have one more story and then I am done with Robert McCloskey's catalog. It was been wonderful to read all these stories. These are cute stories about Homer and Robert McCloskey paints middle American in the 40s so well. They are funny and I think the younger kids would really enjoy them and others too.
Loved it so much I am off to the library to check out Centerburg Tales. My niece and nephew saw me reading it in the van and they wanted to know what it was about as the pictures in it looked funny and cute. My nephew thought 150 pages was really long. I read this in the car today on the way back from a family reunion and I didn't have to drive.
But just like Van Morrison's hit, "Brown-Eyed Girl," Robert McCloskey takes the common place and makes it interesting, prized, and beloved. Part of me would like to see a book where Homer is grown-up, and I'm wondering what kind of person he has become. But at the same time, I don't want to know.
