PRODUCT SUMMARY
From the critically acclaimed,
Emmy Award-winning PBS children's series,
Reading Rainbow, this program presents the book by Karen Lynn Williams. While walking through his village, a young African boy uses his wits to search for scraps of wire to make his very own "galimoto." Also in this episode, host LeVar Burton interviews a wire artist that makes sculptures from wire, meets a circus family who does high wire acts without a net and travels the Sandia Peak Tramway in New Mexico. Viewers will learn how something as common and uncomplicated as wire can be used to create complicated and interesting things.
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.
