Dick and Jane Books Vintage Readers

Rare Catholic Edition and a revision of the Elson Basic Readers Primer. Two adorable characters in this primer are the Dark Pony and the stories about a very well remembered little dog, Happy, who was originally published in the book "Charlie and His Puppy Bingo" in 1927.

Other stories are authored by Dorothy Baruch, Miriam Clark Potter, Gertrude Smith, Nancy Byrd Turner, Jessie Lathrop, and Caroline Emerson's, The Merry-Go-Round.

A scarce very charming vintage book, a nostalgic part of history and the beginning of Sally, Dick and Jane.
