Yiddish with Dick and Jane
A primer like no other! In an inspired parodic twist, the two least Jewish characters in American literature spout some of the edgy, ironic Yiddishisms that have become part of the American vernacular. 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 Dick and Jane--hero and heroine of the classic books for children that generations of Americans 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 fressnoodles at a Chinese restaurant, the clash of cultures produces genuine hilarity. In true primer fashion, Yiddish with Dick and Jane tells a simple story: Grandma gets sick and Dick and Jane´s sister Sally visits. The book also features subplots about such ethical dilemmas as gift-giving etiquette and marital infidelity.
