Great book for a 6 year old learning how to read. When I was young and in school back in the 1960's we learned to read with the Dick and Jane series. I bought this book for my granddaughter and she loved it and read almost half of it the night I gave it to her.

This book is 9.25" X 9.25" (Differs slightly from pre-filled info about the book.) It is hardback with lavender cover. (Some people may call it blue.) Although "The World of Dick and Jane and Friends" may look like a replica of the original books, it is not quite the same. On the plus side, it is a gorgeous high quality book that will bring a smile to any baby boomer who remembers learning to read with Dick and Jane! However, if you are a parent or teacher using this book for schooling, you need to know the proper order in which the stories should be introduced. Important differences are noted below for serious Dick and Jane enthusiasts and especially for those who are actually using this book to teach a child to read. • The three titles that are included in this book are all books that were used in the 1950's Dick and Jane curriculum, but they are all out of order. "The New We Look and See" occurs LAST in this book, but it is actually the very FIRST pre-primer in the series and should be used FIRST if you are teaching your child to read. However, an important note: there are four stories in the original version which have not been included here! In addition, a few stories are not in the same order as they appeared in the original book although the first four are the same. • "The New We Work and Play" was the 2nd pre-primer used in the 1950's Dick and Jane curriculum, but it is not included in this book at all! (It is present in another title- A Storybook Treasury of Dick and Jane.) • "The New We Come and Go" was the 3rd pre-primer used in the 1950's Dick and Jane curriculum. It is included in this book as the second title. Please note that although all the stories have been reproduced exactly as they were in the original version and are also in order, one story has been eliminated entirely ("See It Work") that was present in the original title. • Lastly, "Guess Who" which is the Junior Primer of the series comes next in the 1950's Dick and Jane curriculum (it is to be used after the three pre-primers, and before the primer "Fun with Dick and Jane") although it appears first in this book. Guess Who is identical to the original version. This would have been an even BETTER book had they introduced the stories in the order they were originally designed to be used! But overall, it is a very good buy and is very nice hardback collectible book.Read full review
I THINK THIS BOOK ABOUT DICK & JANE DESERVES 5 STAR IS BECAUSE IT REALLY HAD MY GRAND KIDS READING. THEY FELT LIKE A BIG BOY & GIRL BECAUSE THEY READ OUT LOUD WITHOUT ANY HELP. MY GRAND SON READ 194 PAGES THE FIRST NIGHT. HE WAS PROUD OF HIMSELF.

These books are great for kids who have a problem it teaches them to read by repeating words over and over they're all but they're great to learn how to read

The Dick and Jane series is perfect for teaching young children to read. I used this series to teach my oldest child to read when he was four. It was an instant success. I purchased another set to teach my current four year old how to read and am having great success. This series makes reading easy for children, builds confidence in your child, and costs much less than other programs seen on television. The books use of redundancy makes it easy for children to learn words.
