About this product

Product Information

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.

    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.

    Yiddish with Dick and Jane

    I bought this book to add to my "Dick and Jane" collection of school readers. This is NOT the typical Dick and Jane book, and would not be appropriate for elementary readers -- but it is funny as all get out for adults. I loved the book. Yes, I learned some Yiddish from it (which I expected), but more so, I laughed uproariously (which I did not expect.) I read it to my husband, who also laughed uproariously. Its humor caught us both off-guard several times. If you are looking for innocent Dick, Jane and Sally stories, this book is not for you. If, however, you are willing to open your mind to finding those same characters functioning as adults in today's world and seeing one of them with a bit of "bite", I predict you will enjoy Yiddish with Dick and Jane immensely.

    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.

    Yiddish with Dick and Jane

    The book was written as a very basic introduction to this wonderful language. It uses stories to introduce words in their context. Like most books of this genre, they are really fun for young learning minds.
