Looking for old reading books

[mum4jenn]

I would love to find copies of the old reading books from when I was in school. Does anyone know how to find these? I do not remember the company (it could have been McMillan) but the book had Mark and Janet in it along with their dog Big Red(an irish setter). I would love for my dd to be able to read these when she learns to read. Many many years ago when I worked as an aide I could have been given some of these to take home but I thought back then that I would never have any children.

I actually remember the names of my books. "Fun with Friends", More fun with Friends", "Open Highways". My books had Sally, Dick, and Jane. The dog was Spot.
