PRODUCT SUMMARY
From the critically acclaimed,
Emmy Award-winning PBS children's series,
Reading Rainbow, this program presents the book by Jonathan London. The book tells the story of a hip, saxophone-playing cat who heads to the big city to seek fame and fortune. The cat creates a sound all his own and experiences how the rhyme and rhythm enchant his audience. Also in this episode, viewers experience examples of improvisation in music, literature, art and dance, and host LeVar Burton meets jazz saxophonist Joshua Redman, who talks about how music has influenced his life.
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.
