From the critically acclaimed, Emmy Award-winning PBS children's series, Reading Rainbow, this program presents the book by Laura Joffe Numeroff. In the story, a little boy offers a mouse a cookie, and a chain reaction is set in motion, illustrating how one thing leads to another. Also in this episode, host LeVar Burton goes behind-the-scenes at a bowling alley to see how a bowling ball starts a chain reaction, and viewers meet a Dominoes expert who designs and sets up "domino art," and then triggers a domino reaction.
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.
