I think you'd need a book that actually showed people committing verb-like activity to really decipher the language.

See Spot run!

From "Fun with Dick and Jane", those were the books I had growing up. Our book on health was from the 1920's and gave instructions on how to make pin curls and describes the main girl character getting a "bob".

I loved Dick and Jane!

I'd probably like the health book even better, though. Any book where the main girl character gets a Bob instead of a Dick is a good book.

I think you'd be more successful with their equivalent of See Spot Run.
