Re: Target: Dick and Jane updated

[Johanna Halbeisen Woodland ES <jhalbei@k12.oit.umass.edu>]

I think the book in question is _More Fun with Dick and Jane_, text and
illustrations by Marc Gregory Gallant, published by Penguin Books, 1986.

Here is part of the intro:
...an all-new primer written for the millions of people who readily recall
that immortal line: "See Spot run."  In this new book, the principal
characters ...have grown up.
        Dick, now almost forty, is a systems engineer for a public utility.
Married to Susan, a minor character from the original series, Dick is a
quiet, well-meaning father to three boys -- Brad, Rick and Adam.
       Here is the first story:
        SEE IT GO UP
        Look, look!" said Brad.
        "Look at my stunt kite.
        See it go up.
        Up, up, up.
        Adam said, "Oh, Brad.
        Your stunt kite is rad.
        Totally rad!"
        "Oh, yes!" said Rick.
        It is rad.
        Brad said, "Oh, look!
        Look at my stunt kite.
        It is coming down.
        It is coming down fast.
        Hurry!  We must find it."
        Oh, oh, oh!" said Brad.
        "Look at Father.
        He is wearing my stunt kite."
        "Oh, Brad!" said Adam.
        "Father is grossed out."

There is a vocabulary list in the back of the book of all words not used in
any previous program.
