Summary: pukey
Review: My 8 year daughter and I read this book tonight, and both thought it was bad. My other daughter (5) had learned to read with the original books (as had myself), and thought this would be the same type of book. I was very disappointed in this book, and would never recommend it. The part with the boys playing with guns and shooting each other (as Mr. T) was pathetic. I'm sorry I don't agree with the other reviews - but, I thought as a book to teach young ones to read, it was not suitable.

Summary: Laugh out loud fun!
Review: The first time I read this brief parody, I was alone in a room but literally laughed out loud. Marc Gallant has captured the wording, the feel, and especially the "cadence" of this genre of books.A WONDERFUL and funny reminder of childhood. If you like parodies at all, you will love this book. Only other item nearly as funny was a one-time run of "Off the Wall" Street Journal, published on April 1 in the mid 1980s.

Summary: Goofy, fun, not to be mistaken as reader
Review: You need to take a second look at this book to figure out it's NOT the usual Dick and Jane. Dick and Jane have grown up. It's listed as "humor" not "school book." Some of the humor is a sad reflection of today's reality - like the visit to Grandma that doesn't happen. Overall, it's a spoof, weird, goofy, funny, amusing, and not necessarily suitable for children.
