Breve biografia: Dorothy Walter Baruch was born in San Francisco, California. She studied at Bryn Mawr College and the University of Southern California and earned degrees from Whittier College and the Broadoaks School of Education. She obtained a Ph.D. from Claremont College in 1937. In 1919, she married Herbert M. Baruch, with whom she had two children; in 1946, she remarried to Dr. Hyman Miller. She was the founding director of the Gramercy Cooperative Nursery School from 1924–1927, and was a professor and director of the laboratory school of education at Whittier College from 1930 to 1940.

After World War II, she opened a private practice as a child psychologist, but continued to lecture widely. She wrote articles for academic journals, but also more than 20 books for children. She also produced 11 nonfiction books, mainly for parents, such as You, Your Children and War (1942) and How to Live with Your Teen-ager (1953).

Storybook Treasury of Dick and Jane and Friends. We… di William S. Gray

My rating is based not on the merit of the work itself but the richness of the conversation surrounding it when I introduced it to my college students in preparation to discuss Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye.

One Little Boy di Dorothy W. Baruch

Interesting voyeuristic view of psychotherapy. I was caught up in it right away, but found it tedious after awhile as the stories became repetitious. The author's premise is that all children go through these types of feelings and fears. I'm not sure I agree. I did have a charmed childhood with healthy loving parents that listened and cared.

Storybook Treasury of Dick and Jane and Friends. We… di William S. Gray

Well now I know what all the fuss is about. Yes, the family is awfully WASP, and, yes, good readers will want to rip through this in about 2 days and move along ahead of the class. But it sure does beat the little morals on the slates that children like Laura Ingalls had to struggle through. Still, I don't see the value for today's children - only for scholars.

Storybook Treasury of Dick and Jane and Friends. We… di William S. Gray

30 months - Dick and Jane was the first book I could read by myself. My grandmother was a school teacher and she had a first edition of the book that she gave me. It was very exciting to be able to read something without help! I remember we loaned the book to my friend Cory and never saw it again. I always wished I had that book. Anyway, I came across this treasury at the thrift store and just had to buy it for O for when she begins to read on her own.
