PRODUCT SUMMARY
From the critically acclaimed,
Emmy Award-winning PBS children's series,
Reading Rainbow, this program presents the book by Arline and Joseph Baum. The story presents a magical take on optical illusions in which objects seem to shift color and size, while images appear and disappear. Also, host LeVar Burton visits with a trompe l'oeil painter who specializes in art that tricks the eye, shows how special effects are created for the camera and introduces animals and insects that use optical illusions to camouflage themselves.
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.
