I learned to read so I could read what was going on with that greenhouse with all the broken windows. Robert McCloskey is a National Treasure, as far as I'm concerned. His books never grow old and tired. Every generation loves them. I loved those Homer Price stories.

It was a compelling read, full of adventure, spirit, relationships, history. It's one book that has stayed with me over time. Nancy p.s. this web site is great! Jay,
