This lovely book brought back so many memories of learning to read. The Dick and Jane series was very popular class room material in the early 1950's. In simple, repetitive sentences, these classic books were the building foundational block for kindergarten and first grade.

In this book we see Dick, Jane, Sally and their pets in the snow, making snowmen, sledding and having fun. When each child becomes too cold, they go in the house and make Christmas cookies.

All too soon there are lots of show more cookies, enough to distribute to the mailman, the traffic cop and the neighbors.

I bought this book to give as a gift to our neighbor girls who have great fun at our house when I read to them. We also bake a lot of cookies and distribute them to neighbors. It is a good way to reinforce sharing, and safely children interact with people who appreciate them and smile when they come to the door. show less

Totally emulates the 1950s primer readers, in both text and illustrations.
Great for new readers.

A picture book of simple Christmas celebrations.

Enjoy this lovable Dick, Jane, Sally, Spot and Puff Christmas story.
