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!
