This book and others in the Dick & Jane family are GREAT BOOKS AND GREAT HELP FOR the beginning readers in Kindergarten. My 5 yr old loves both of her books and we call them her "Sight Words" book because they have all the sight words that are require for her to know in order to be promoted. Also, on her last two report cards, she has not missed any of her sight words and knows many more just by reading these books that we learned when we was in school as children. I highly recommend these Dick & Jane books to everyone for our young children that are starting school and for just start out reading as an infant and up. It has made a world of difference in our home. I have just purchase two more for my niece that is having a hard time reading and that is not doing too well at school, she is also in Kindergarten. My child just loves to read the stories from her books and wants me to buy more, which I will before she finishes these books.Read full review
I bought this book for my six year old daughter. We homeschool and she had been very discouraged with reading. I bought this book because I learned to read with Dick and Jane books as a child. The first day we bought it, she had no iterest in it. The second day I told her I was sure she could read it, just try the first page. She is now two weeks into the school year, and 43 pages into the book! The repetition of words makes it so easy for them to memorize the words. She loves this book. And it has made her a much more confident reader! I would recommend this book to anyone who has a beginning reader at home who may be struggling with there confidence to read.
Overall, this book is a very good buy. Every page is illustrated in color and contains simple pre-primer text for the beginning reader. It also makes a beautiful book for the coffee table to bring back fond memories of a simpler time! Although there is no print date inside, this is a recent publication with high quality, glossy white pages. I believe it first came out in 2003. It is published in the United States by Grosset & Dunlap and designed by Irene Vandervoort. It is licensed by arrangement with Pearson Education, Inc. Although this book may look like a reissue of the originals, there are a few things you should know. On the plus side, it is a gorgeous high quality book that will bring a smile to any baby boomer who remembers learning to read with Dick and Jane! However, if you are a parent or teacher actually using this book for schooling, you need to know the proper order in which the stories should be introduced. Important differences are noted below for serious Dick and Jane enthusiasts and especially for those who are thinking of using this book to teach a child to read. • In A Storybook Treasury of Dick and Jane and Friends you find the three Dick and Jane pre-primers, BUT they are OUT OF ORDER! The correct order of the pre-primers should be: (1st) We Look and See, (2nd) We Work and Play, and (3rd) We Come and Go. • Although all three Dick and Jane pre-primers are included in this title, they are all from 3 SEPARATE curriculums! One is from the 1940 curriculum, another is from the 1946-47 curriculum, and the other from the 1956 curriculum! Over the years, each curriculum had been revised and updated. If you want to use the Dick and Jane pre-primers to teach a young child to read, I highly recommend that you select which curriculum you want to teach from (1940, 1946-47, or 1956 for example) and then use all 3 pre-primers from the SAME curriculum, and in the order they were designed to be used in! The good news is that all three pre-primers have been reproduced exactly and are identical to the original versions. The book is gorgeous inside and out and makes a beautiful conversation piece. It would have been an even BETTER book had they included pre-primers from the SAME curriculum (such as 1956 for example) instead of deciding to mix and match preprimers from different decades.Read full review
This was a great buy because of the price I paid and it helped me teach my 5 year old daughter to read. The Dick and Jane books are a great start for any early reader.

I simply cannot believe I can buy such treasures for such a small price. I am gathering these books for Christmas gifts and other special occasions. They always arrive in a timely manner and in unexpectedly good condition. I consider this the best deal on the internet. I cannot wait to give them as gifts and use some of them as coffee table books in my own home. Thank you!
