Hardback: No DJ 'as issued'. Dick and Jane welcome new friends to their neighborhood. I learned to read with this book and I'm happy to be able to help my grandchild learn to read with this book too. A great book for beginning readers. Just like anyone who read Dick and Jane books remembers. Love the nostalgia that come with old books.
