PRODUCT SUMMARY
From the critically acclaimed,
Emmy Award-winning PBS children's series,
Reading Rainbow, this program presents the book by Leyla Torres. The book tells the story of a family that doesn't have the ingredients for their chicken stew. In order to get what they need, Mama Ana decides to use what she has -- a basket of eggs -- to barter for what she needs. Host LeVar Burton explores the fun of collecting and trading treasures when he first visits the Old Feed Mill Auction and then meets an avid baseball card collector.
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.
