This was a great pallett cleanser. It made me smile and laugh. Just what the doctor ordered.
Dick and Jane's wholesome little world becomes new, modern, and complicated while teaching the average Gentile a little useful Yiddish. Fun, funny, and just sarcastic enough.

Murphy-Jacobs | 4 autres critiques | Mar 30, 2013 | This book right here reminds me of home more than any other book that I own. This isn't teaching Yiddish more than it is teaching Yinglish which brings back so many happy memories. The few happy memories of childhood. Yinglish was the language of safety. I never read any of the Dick & Jane stories when I was younger, but this really brings me home.
