Jane is in real estate.,Today is Saturday.,Jane has an open house.,She must, schlep ,the Open House signs to the car.,See Jane, schlep,.,Schlep,, Jane., Schlep,.,Schlep, schlep, schlep.,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 ,fress, noodles at a Chinese restaurant, the clash of cultures produces genuine hilarity.
