From the critically acclaimed, Emmy Award-winning PBS children's series, Reading Rainbow, this program presents the book by James Marshall. In the story, Fox tries to earn money for a new bicycle in several different jobs. He eventually learns that jobs which match his skills are hard to come by. Also in this episode, host LeVar Burton interviews a 15-year-old student who started his own business and visits people at work, including window cleaners, baggage handlers, a librarian, a dog walker, a firefighter and a policeman.
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.
