Synopsis
In text that captures the unique rhythms of the original Dick and Jane readers, and in 35 all-new illustrations, a story unfolds in which the ultra-WASPish Dick and Jane - hero and heroine of the classic books for children that generations have used when learning to read - manage to express shades of feeling and nuances of meaning that ordinary English just can't deliver. How By speaking Yiddish, employing terms that convey an attitude - part plucky self-assertion, part ironic fatalism. When Dick schmoozes, when Jane kvetches, when their children fress noodles at a Chinese restaurant, the clash of cultures produces genuine hilarity...YIDDISH WITH DICK AND JANE tells a simple story: Grandma gets sick and Dick and Jane's sister Sally visits. There are sub-plots about such ethical dilemmas as gift-giving etiquette and marital infidelity. The comedy intensifies in the glossary, which defines (with chutzpah aplenty!) each Yiddish term introduced in the text., What better (or funnier) language than Yiddish to express those shades of feeling and nuances of meaning that plain and old boring English just can't deliver? And who better than our old friends Dick and Jane, and their little sister, Sally, to teach us? The text uses familiar rhythms of the original Dick and Jane primers, along with 40 all-new illustrations, to tell a timeless and classic story that everyone can relate to: what it's like to grow up in a perfect world and then come to terms with reality.

    Wonderful first time experience making an EBay purchase. Item was shipped same day as date of purchase. Item was as described and in great condition. Quality packaging as item was part glass. Value was comparable to similar items on EBay and seller was willing to take a lower offer. Hugely positive experience. I highly recommend this shop!

    Item was packaged very well. It was shipped quickly. Great value! Looked like new, very clean and sounded good. The machine just would not dispense water. We contacted seller. Seller, Doug went out of his way trying to help us get it working. Communication is key to solving issues. These people are "good" (great) people. I highly recommend purchasing anything from them. 5-star seller! They stand behind what they sell!

    Fun book!

    The Yiddish I heard as a child is lost to my families’ future generations, so I thought it would be fun to share this book. It’s enjoyable, and I had quite a chuckle.

    Great book for those who remember Dick & Jane

    This is what the Dick & Jane books for my grade school should have been in grade school! It would have fit our neighborhood to a "T"! Love it!

    Fun book

    Written with a wonderful sense of humor. A fun way to introduce this generation to Yiddish phrases. Loved it and have bought a few as gifts.
