5.0 out of 5 stars One of the BEST!, February 3, 2000
By A Customer
This is one of my all time favorite Bill Peet books. I remember the good ole days of my youth spent at library reading most of his books. Fly Homer Fly is a heartwarming story about Homer, a pigeon who leaves his dull country life for the big city. It's rather like a fish out of water story. Homer gets bullied by huge city pigeons and injures his wing after escaping. Just as a cat is about to pounce; his sparrow friends rescue him, take him back home sweet home to the countryside and nurse him back to health.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Nice Story That Your Children Will Enjoy, June 27, 2000
By Paul Martin (Waukesha, WI USA) - See all my reviews
Follow Homer the country pigeon and his new found city friend Sparky the sparrow as they journey to Mammoth City to explore a new life for Homer.

Homer begins to realize how good life was back in the country and is faced with having to adjust to his new life or return home.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lessons for Life, January 15, 2007
Like a good children's book should, "Fly Homer Fly" has great life lessons that are simplified into a beautiful short story for children. The illustrations evoke a sense of blue longing for something. Homer leaves his country home and find disillusionment with the dangerous city and its mean birds. Isn't there something to be said about all our so-called progress and our relentless search for something better when all that really matters is already at our fingertips and requires only our appreciation and attention?
