PRODUCT SUMMARY
From the critically acclaimed,
Emmy Award-winning PBS children's series,
Reading Rainbow, this program presents the book by Nancy Poydar. The book tells the story of a boy dreading the "big test," which has become a rite-of-passage at his elementary school. The show theme's is echoed by host LeVar Burton's daughter Michaela as she practices for an audition and by the young members of a NYC children's theater group as they prepare for a performance.
The Reading Rainbow programs are designed to encourage children to read by transporting them to exciting, real-life settings. The series introduces kids to interesting new people and places, explores social and cultural issues, and offers a close-up look at the world around them. Its dynamic, fast-paced, colorful animation and hip music entertain and reinforce these experiences, and help children embrace positive reading habits, skills and attitudes.
