PRODUCT SUMMARY
From the critically acclaimed,
Emmy Award-winning PBS children's series,
Reading Rainbow, this program presents the book by Amy Herst. In the story, Harry sits on the porch with 100-year-old Mr. George Baker, who can dance and play the drums, but goes to school, just like Harry, so he can learn to read. Also in this episode, host LeVar Burton explores how learning is an ageless adventure as he introduces a senior dance troupe and visits a bakery run by the same family for five generations.
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.
