Spencer Jack's first grade reading assignment was to read the book "Dean's Pies". He learned that people named "Dean" dream of eating a lot of different types of pies.
So, what's the big deal about this Dean guy dreaming of pies and this book being Spencer Jack's reading assignment?
Well, those who know me well know my full name is Durango Dean Jones, with those who know me well usually referring to me as Dean, not as Durango.
Then again, it is also true that those who know me well sometimes also refer to me as Durango, or Durango Dean, or Mr. D.
As evidenced by this "Dean's Pies" book it would appear that first grade literature has evolved from the seeing Dick chasing Jane up a hill type books I read as a first grader.
I don't think I reached such an elevated reading level, as Spencer Jack's, til I was at least in 4th grade.
The text on the two pages Spencer Jack is holding up for us is...
Dean lies in bed. He dreams of pies. He dreams of apple pies, peach pies, and cherry pies. He dreams of cream pies, custard pies, and lemon pies. He dreams of pickle pies, carrot pies, and bean pies.
Pickle pies, carrot pies and bean pies? This particular Dean has never heard of those three type pies. The pickle pie sounds particularly disgusting.
Spencer Jack's book's Dean should be also dreaming about blackberry pie, rhubarb pie and key lime pie, because those are some of this particular Dean's favorite pies....
