Yiddish With Dick and Jane
$14.95 h/c
By Ellis Weiner and Barbara Davilman

Remember our old friends, Dick, Jane and Sally from the primers with which many of us learned to read?  They grew up in an idealized universe with friendly milkmen, doctors who make house calls and mommies and daddies who look no older than 18. Now they’re back as adults to tell us a story about what it’s like to grow up in a perfect world and then come to terms with today’s reality. And what better  way to express that irony and nuance than with a little Yiddish?  The text uses the familiar rhythms of the original “Dick and Jane” readers, peppered with Yiddish words and expressions, along with an informative, humorous glossary and 40 all-new Illustrations to deliver a primer like no other!
