TagNwag Books & Bears - Image Viewing

The first book to introduce Dick and Jane. Sally was not named yet and is referred to as Baby, Puff was named Little Mew, and Spot is a terrier, later changed to the Cocker Spaniel. Charming very vintage illustrations throughout each story in water-color by L. Kate Deal.

In this 1930 edition, the illustrators were not given credit, not until the book, the Elson Basic Readers Book One. A rare book, nostalgic piece of history and the beginning of Dick and Jane.
