Yes Dick.
Yes Sally.
We have new neighbors.
See.
See our new neighbors.
See our new neighbors move in.
Yes Dick.
Yes Sally.
Our neighbors are different.
Our neighbors are different than us.
Yes Dick.
Yes Sally.
You can play with your new neighbors.
You can play with Mike and Pam and Penny.
See.
See.
It is possible.
It is possible for us to live together.
(The Fun With Dick and Jane series was discontinued in 1970 by the publishers, Scott, Foresman and Company due to controversy concerning how to best incorporate the realities of integration. In 1965 the story line introduced an African American family into the seemingly white suburban neighborhood of Dick and Jane, but it was not enough to tell the story emerging post integration. A story we are continuing to learn.)
