Sally, Dick, and Jane

About this Item

A colorful guide to learning how to read for young children. Originally used for school teaching in the 1920s through to the 1950s, some of the entertaining adventures of the three characters Sally, Dick and Jane are here gathered in 16 nicely illustrated cards with simple text fit for the acquisition of the first reading skills. The child will be delighted by these easy to read and understand adventures, and will be pleased to find again his favorite, endearing characters as he turns the pages to discover each new beautiful illustration, especially attractive for the young. Each page reveals an instructive situation, which sometimes calls for the reflection of the children to help one another and their dog Spot. The nine first cards are from the set of Sally, Dick, and Jane, while cards 10 to 12 are from The Think-and-Do Book, and the last four cards from 13 to 16 are from the Fun with Our Family set. Cards are in overall good condition with general edgewear and toning. Color illustrated covers show expected aging from toning, creases and scuffs. Front cover displays scuffing and rubbing near lower right corner, as well as a large 7" crease to lower right corner. (See photos) All corners of covers show pronounced creasing and rubbing. Back cover exhibits severe wear from toning and scuffs, as well as a damp stain all along upper edge with gray staining from humidity. (See photos) All pages are loose. No apparent evidence of binding. Cards show steady edgewear mostly along head, with damp staining, gray staining from humidity, and corner as well as edge creases and closed tears. Some cards exhibit more pronounced edgewear from damp staining, as card 16, or from vertical closed tears along edges, as card 15. (See photos) Inside pages are free of writing and intentional marks. Book may exhibit additional minor signs of age or wear. 16 cards with black & white and full-color illustrations.
