Beginning readers

BETH: Mommy, the people in this "Dick And Jane" book aren't really very nice. They always say things like "Run, Dick, Run" and "Put the cat here", but they never, ever say please. See, here it says "Jump, Dick. Jump up. Oh Dick. I said jump". That's really rude. Why don't they ever say please?

Those two vowels sounded as one make please a hard word to read. However, I agree with Beth. It's such an important word that it should be included. Maybe a children's librarian will write a revised polite edition of Dick and Jane.
