PRODUCT SUMMARY
From the critically acclaimed,
Emmy Award-winning PBS children's series,
Reading Rainbow, this program presents the book by Carol P. Saul. Mrs. Tilby has decided that her life in a small town is not all she wants, so she sets off on a trip. After visiting many places, including the city, the seashore and the mountains, Mrs. Tilby decides to buy a camper so she can be "at home" wherever she is. In this episode, host LeVar Burton shares his memories of places he's been, things he's done and people he's met, including a New York City rooftop garden and a man who raises homing pigeons, the seashore and a schooner sailing trip, and a Hawaiian volcano and a potter who creates raku pottery.
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.
