Berlioz the Bear

PRODUCT SUMMARY

From the critically acclaimed, Emmy Award-winning PBS children's series, Reading Rainbow, this program presents the book by Jan Brett. While en route to play the town ball, Berlioz the Bear and his fellow musicians' bandwagon gets stuck in a hole in the road. The surprise that saves the day is the strange buzzing in Berlioz's instrument. Also in this episode, host LeVar Burton takes a musical journey through the streets of New York City, and viewers go behind the scenes of the Boy's Choir of Harlem.

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.
