PRODUCT SUMMARY
From the critically acclaimed,
Emmy Award-winning PBS children's series,
Reading Rainbow, this program presents the book by Kevin Henkes. Owen's parents try to get him to give up his favorite blanket before he starts school. When their efforts fail, they come up with a compromise that works for everyone. Also in this episode, host LeVar Burton shares memories from his childhood and talks about how he has dealt with changes, from adjusting to a new sibling to attending the first day of kindergarten. Viewers will meet comic book creators to find out how they write and illustrate these "picture books."
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.
