Homer is a sweet pigeon living a simple country life until a wayward sparrow convinces him to try living in the big city. In Mammoth City, he soon discovers dirty air and, worse, he must fight for his food and beware of cats and rats and even a falling building. The baddest bad guy in this story is not human but an oversize bully of a pigeon. Homer can’t fly back home to the country because he has injured his wing. It’s pretty scary. Fortunately, he has a friend in the sparrow, and a clever solution will follow.
Bill Peet is a wonderful artist. There’s energy and depth in his drawings. His stories range from sweet to scary. For sensitive children, Fly Homer Fly is one of the more worry-making stories — with a happy resolution, to be sure — so I’d introduce a kid to Bill Peet through some of his lighter books first, such as The Caboose Who Got Loose or Smokey. But I love this book, and so does my grandson, who has practically memorized it and will anticipate what comes next, saying “It saddened him to think that all his friends would be leaving,” (surprising words from the mouth of a five-year-old), or “What’s fair for one is fair for all!” Great book. Great author. Great artist ( )
