Written by Ellis Weiner and Barbara Davilman
Illustrated by Gabi Payn

Dick and Jane are all grown up, and their world is full of tsuris. That's the premise of this hilarious parody. This little book manages to dish up big laughs, while at the same time providing a legitimate guide to some very useful and colorful Yiddish. Complete with 40 watercolor illustrations.

The brief story is priceless, but it's worth the purchase price for the glossary alone. (After all, you never know when you might need to explain the difference between a putz and a schmuck).

Ellis Weiner has been an editor of National Lampoon, a columnist for Spy, and a contributor to magazines including The New Yorker, the New York Times Magazine, and the Paris Review.

Barbara Davilman began her career in New York in advertising, and was then summoned to Los Angeles to write for sitcoms that, thankfully, she says, no one remembers.
