Homer Price by Robert McCloskey ****

Homer Price is a nice book with silly stories (unless you are a serious reader, then it's caveat emptor!). It is about a boy named Homer Price (obviously) who lives just outside a small town called Centerburg in Ohio. The adventures include a time when five (please leave a notice if I got the number wrong) robbers stole some money and after-shave lotion from inside a radio station, but Homer with the help of a skunk (it was a pet one) returns it to its rightful owner and gets half the money as a reward.

I personally recommend this book for the younger readers who can read chapter books without falling asleep (zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz).
