Books published by publisher Row-Peterson and Co

The "Alice and Jerry" books followed a sister and brother, Alice and Jerry, as well as their dog Jip, through a series of simple events in relatively plain settings. The "Alice and Jerry" series followed patterns similar to the Dick and Jane readers, which are now better known in the United States. Friendly Village is designed to be read at the second-grade level. The sentences in the "Alice and Jerry" readers were short, and used repeating words to build reader's stamina and familiarity.
