Dude: Fun with Dude and Betty

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Tom Dunne. Dick-and-Jane stand-ins Dude and Betty hit the waves. Amusing text gives a righteous shout-out to the classic easy readers: "See Dude surf...Surf, Dude, surf." While the story is modernized for today's beach bums, cameos of fifties-style parents--and a wood-paneled cruisemobile--help preserve the retro feel and enhance the humor (yes, it's almost entirely for adults). A glossary of surfer terms is appended.
