Robert McCloskey (1914-2003) wrote and illustrated some of the most honored and enduring children's books ever published. He grew up in Hamilton, Ohio, and spent time in Boston, New York, and ultimately Maine, where he and his wife raised their two daughters. The first ever two-time Caldecott Medal winner, for Make Way for Ducklings and Time of Wonder, McCloskey was also awarded Caldecott Honors for Blueberries for Sal, One Morning in Maine, and Journey Cake, Ho! by Ruth Sawyer. He was declared a Living Legend by the Library of Congress in 2000. You can see some of his best-loved characters immortalized as statues in Boston's Public Garden and Lentil Park in Hamilton, Ohio.

Homer Price is amazing and incredibly entertaining. This book falls very short of the original. Some sections of the stories were well written. However, the stories are not as tight and funny, and I was left with the feeling that something was missing or the story hadn’t been fully fleshed out or re......more
Ah, little Centerburg, the quintessential 1940's Midwestern town. A friendly sheriff, angle (diagonal) parking, a shirt-tail relative who tells tall tales, mass hysteria -- wait a minute, what's with this burg? Welcome to part two of the "Homer Price" tales by Robert ("MAKE WAY FOR DUCKLINGS") McClo......more
