Grampa Hercules and his never-ending tall tales, Dulcy Dooner, the uncooperative citizen, unbusinesslike Uncle Ulysses and his friendly lunchroom, the flustered sheriff, the pompous judge--they are all as American as they come. But there's a subtle and delightful difference. In Centerburg, along with the routine of day-to-day living, the most preposterous things keep happening. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut nothing fazes Homer Price! Ragweeds taller than fire ladders, music that sets a whole town dancing--he solves these problems calmly and efficiently. Homer Price is a boy with a good supply of common sense--and ingenuity! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHomer's Grampa Hercules is a delightful old rascal and his extravagent reminiscences of his youth are the starting point of many of the episodes. The chapter titles are as enticing as the chapters themselves: The Hide-a-Ride, Looking for Gold, Ever So Much More So, Experiment 13, Grampa Hercules and the Gravitty-Bitties, Pie and Punch and You-Know-Whats. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMr. McCloskey's characters have warmth and kindness and a healthy curiosity; but they are not above a few minor faults and foibles. They are unmistakenably alive. Like Mr. McCloskey himself, they are perpetually amused by the everyday hazards and discrepancies around them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Puffin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/27\/1977\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780140310726\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.56h x 5.90w x 0.51d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e18 \/ Centerburg Tales: More Adventures of Homer Price (Viking\/Puffin Edition)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 6 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 5\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Robert McCloskey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52239345516725,"sku":"9780140310726","price":6.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_f30779c5-d8a2-4731-ab41-84ede4ef968e.jpg?v=1770917866","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/centerburg-tales-more-adventures-of-homer-price-9780140310726","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
