On Wednesday, Chloe, my 6-year-old stepdaughter-in-training, embraced the anthology of Dick and Jane stories her mother bought for her on my recommendation. "Worked for me when I was her age," I suggested. (Up until reading Dick and Jane, little Chloe would struggle, word by word, with other children's books intended for her age.)
After returning home from the book store, I couldn't believe at how voraciously Chloe read each page and how proud she was at her newly discovered reading abilities. All was well, until, about halfway through the 145 page collection, she turns to me and says:
"There are too many Dicks in this book."
