Storybook Treasury of Dick and Jane and Friends

FROM OUR EDITORS

Hear the words "See Spot run," and you'll immediately recognize one of the simple, time-honored phrases made popular by the Dick and Jane early readers. Now fans of those precocious kids can get a trove of stories in this treasury put together for a new generation! With Eleanor Campbell and Miriam Story Hurford's gentle, familiar scenes of yesteryear, this collection includes three readers in one volume -- We Look and See, We Come and Go, and The New We Work and Play. Each reader includes several entries about the beloved characters, such as the We Look and See stories "Jane," which shows Jane practicing roller skating, and "Tim and Spot" which features the dog's antics with Baby Sally's teddy bear. Later, We Come and Go finds the parents jumping rope in "Come and Jump" ("Sally said, 'Come, Mother. Come and see Father. See Father jump and play.' "), while the family takes an adventurous trip in several other tales. All together, the treasury contains 40 charming stories, complete with a brief note about the publication and importance of Dick and Jane. Sure to sit proudly on any bookshelf, this collection is a heartwarming treat that's bound to get today's kids pepped up for reading and inspire older fans to revisit characters who were popular long before Barney and Spongebob Squarepants came along.

The paper-over-board Storybook Treasury of Dick and Jane and Friends combines three Dick and Jane books, with 40 short stories in all. The children and their pets run and jump and play in the stories in We Look and See; they see cars, boats and more in We Come and Go; and in The New We Work and Play, they enjoy helping out.
