Homer Price lives two miles out of Centerburg, where Route 56 meets 56A, but most of his friends and relatives live in town. They include Aunt Aggy and Uncle Ulysses, the Sheriff and the boys, Miss Terwilliger, Miss Naomi Enders, great-great-great granddaughter of Ezekiel Enders who funded Centerburg and who owned the precious formula for making Cough Syrup and Elixir of Life Compound. While Centerburg is not exactly nosey, precious little happens that the good citizens do not know.

The busy Boston streets are too dangerous for eight little ducklings! But with a little help from a friendly policeman Mrs. Mallard and her family arrive safely at their new home. The public garden was no place for ducklings when they were first born, but now they are old enough to brave the raucous crowds and swim with the giant swan boats. Available for the first time in a full-size paperback edition, this Caldecott winning classic continues to delight generations of children

Hi! I'm Homer Price. I live in Centerburg. Somehow the funniest things are always happening here. And somehow I'm always in the middle of them. There was the time, f'r instance, that my pet skunk Aroma smelled out those four bank robbers. Maybe you've heard about the day I helped Uncle Ulysses with his automatic doughnut machine - and the confounded thing wouldn't turn off. And wasn't that Super-Duper comic books business a big surprise to... Say, why am I telling you all this here? I'll see you inside. Stories include: The Case of the Sensational Scent, The Case of the Cosmic Comic, The Doughnuts, Mystery Yarn, Nothing New Under the Sun (Hardly), and Wheels of Progress
