The DP LineThursday, February 17, 2005
When there was great influx of immigration to the USA due to war or crop failures in other countries, these folks became known as "Displaced Persons" or "DPs" (which, I realize, is NOT the politically correct phrase currrently, but it WAS in common usage at the turn of the 20th century) - check out the different costuming in the drawing shown for this caption - they are all people from different nations in their national garb.
Very enjoyable!Monday, April 19, 2004
My four children have enjoyed this book , as well as CDB. I brought both books in to my son's 4th grade "Reading Day" and the whole class participated in the "puzzle-solving" text. They had so much fun with both books!! I highly recommend these books for a fun and interactive read!

Very clever, but not for all agesWednesday, June 21, 2000
This is a very clever book and it's quite fun reading. However, my 4 year old and I read together all the time and I bought this for him thinking it would be good for him too, but some of the picture themes are not interesting for a small child. This would be good for a 9-10 years +.

If you enjoy struggling - and moaning at the punning clues - with the NYT crossword, you'll have a good time and a quick read, one that you'll want to repeat when feeling low. I brought my copy to the office; and am ordering more as gifts for twisted minds. FYI, the caption in question says to me, "Everyone here is dippy."

This book is very entertaining - - for the whole family!!!!Wednesday, August 12, 1998
Couldn't figure out one puzzle that went something like - "Everyone here is ...." and then "D P".
Any clues please let me know the solution to the puzzle; it has been driving me and my 9 year old daughter crazy. Thanks.
