SUMMARY
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 unque 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.Weiner, Ellis is the author of 'Yiddish With Dick and Jane', published 2004 under ISBN 9780316159722 and ISBN 0316159727.
