Summary: This is a great and easy book, it talks about the things Dick, Jane and Sally do. It talks about the adventures of their day and how they are helping each other out.

This is a great book for kids learning to read. It is an older book, I also got it form my mom. The illustrations are very unique and colorful.… (mere)

What I'd really like to know is how many people started reading with these at school???? In hindsight I find it ironic we were using these repetitive & simple books and at the same time being taught to write copperplate with nibs and ink.
I wish I could find an original cover picture which was a green cover, but have found an inside page illustration and another of the series original covers "Look and See". (click under the image - 2 more photos) to see them.

You can see most of the covers for the Dick and Jane series here;

It's a shame my copies were thrown out a few years back. ;( Going by the prices on the above site, they are worth collecting.
