From the critically acclaimed,
Emmy Award-winning PBS children's series,
Reading Rainbow, this program presents the book by Barbara Samuels. In the story, Dolores learns to hold back some of her smothering tendencies in order to win the affection of her new pet cat. Also in this episode, host LeVar Burton visits a tiger trainer who talks about caring for tiger cubs and teaching them manners, and viewers meet actress Long Ackerman as she prepares for a performance of the Broadway musical "CATS."
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.
