5.0 out of 5 stars Great story for children (and adults) about being different, March 29, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Who's a Pest? A Homer Story (Library Binding)

This was by far my favorite book growing up. It is the funny and warm story of Homer, a boy with a great floppy red hat who is treated like an outcast by his bratty sisters (and everyone else), through a twist on Abbott and Costello "Who's On First" routine. Homer finds redemption in a touching ending that sends the message that conformity is dangerous and that it's o.k. to be a little different

I actually still have my 1962 Hardcover edition and wouldn't part with it for the world! My children even love it. It is 64 pages, but is very easy to read. (My 5 year old can read it too!)

This review is from: Who's a Pest?: A Homer Story (Paperback)

I loved this book as a kid and was thrilled that my six-year-old niece enjoyed it enough for repetitive reading (I still don't mind reading it over and over). The main character is endearing and the text is funny and fast-paced. I keep it on my bookshelf with my childhood classics and keepsakes.
