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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Nestling Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47398872613090,"sku":null,"price":8.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0286\/7570\/2877\/files\/PXL_20260203_195640048_2.jpg?v=1770149332","url":"https:\/\/thenestlingco.com\/en-au\/products\/centerburg-tales-by-robert-mccloskey","provider":"The Nestling Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
