That was probably this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_and_jane

>>Dick and Jane were the main characters in popular basal readers written by William S. Gray and Zerna Sharp[1] and published by Scott Foresman, that were used to teach children to read from the 1930s through to the 1970s in the United States...The main characters, Dick and Jane, were a little boy and girl. Supporting characters included Baby (or Sally), Mother, Father, Spot (originally a cat in the 1930s, but a dog in later editions), Puff the cat, and Tim the teddy bear.

Wonderful memories of learning to read, learning to love the books in our grade school library and our local library in my neighborhood. Dick, Jane & Spot were sweet memories of the wonderful times in which I lived during the late 40s and early 50s as a child. God help the children of today.
