(Welcome to Centerburg! Where you can win a hundred dolla...)
Welcome to Centerburg! Where you can win a hundred dollars by eating all the doughnuts you want; where houses are built in a day; and where a boy named Homer Price can foil four slick bandits using nothing but his wits and pet skunk. The comic genius of Robert McCloskey and his wry look at small-town America has kept readers in stitches for generations!

(Centerburg might be your town. Grampa Hercules and his ne...)
Centerburg might be your town. 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. But 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! Homer'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. Mr. 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.

This is the Author's First Book which he both wrote and illustrated and was originally published in 1940. This is the scarce Special Edition published in 1968 by The Viking Press with Scott Foresman & Co and includes the 33 1/3 record with Andrew Schiller reading the book. It tells the story of a little boy who lived in a small town in Ohio in the 1940s. He was very happy except that he could not whistle, so he got a harmonica instead. He ended up saving the town. Some of the illustrations in the book were included in an exhibition that McCloskey prepared and led to his winning the Prix de Rome and for this he received two years of study abroad. It is profusely illustated on every page in black & white. The book launched McCloskey on his way to becoming one of the major children's illustrators of his time.
