Mom's Notes: This book was just plain fun! After visitng the bronze ducklings in Boston and an island off the coast of Maine, we were all about reading more Roberty McCloskey. I felt a kind of kinship as his beautiful artwork came even more alive when rereading our favorite picture books. This chapter book had a very Lentil feel, as it's also set in Ohio. It is more silly than most of his books as well, which was just right after our more serious history study. We had fun extending this story by designing and advertising our own "time-saving devices" and looking for diamonds in donuts. We're glad to know Homer Price!
What was your favorite tale from Centerburg, OH?
Evy (11): "Probably the donut one. It was funny, with the bracelet and all."
Daniel (9): "I think the donut one. It was so funny that they made all those donuts."
Michael (9): "The donuts! Because the lady lost her ring in the dough."
