Dick, Jane, and Sally, are real
youngsters who play amusing pranks, dress up in father's and mother's clothes,
visit grandmother and grandfather on the farm, romp with their pets, make fascinating
discoveries during a spring walk in the woods, and do many of the other things
that healthy, wide-awake youngsters delight in doing.
