Doughnuts...er...donuts...

So it is official.

You absolutely, totally, utterly, and completely cannot read Robert McCloskey's Homer Price without eating doughnuts.

'Why?' you might ask.

Good question, but if you do then it is clear that you've never read Homer Price.

You need to.

With a Lexile grade of 1000L and six not too long preposterous tales, Homer Price is great for your developing reader, but it is delicious fun at any age.

In Australia you can get it from Borders for $18.95.

Devour yours with doughnuts and coffee soon.

Mmmmmmm. Yum.

    ...now we know why Charlotte used so many gastronomic terms.

    We're eating our way through the classics as well. Pretty sure nature walks and Swedish drill are to deter weight gains in well-intentioned mothers.

    have I ever told you I used to work in a doughnut shop? There was a time that illustration would have given me certain feelings in my abdominal region. But now it's been long enough, I like doughnuts again :) Looks fun, Jeanne - it looks like you were having fun with your photos too!

    Yum! Those donuts look amazing..and the book too :) Haven't got this one, and looks like a fun read. Is it set in 1950's America? We read The Moffats last year, and Ginger Pye, and enjoyed both these books set in that era.

    Sorry for tempting you girls. Alas, they're not homemade...not by me anyhow.

    The book was written in 1953, but is cliché middle America for all that. Really fun and totally unbelievable.
