Max

PRODUCT SUMMARY

From the critically acclaimed, Emmy Award-winning PBS children's series, Reading Rainbow, this program presents the book by Bob Graham. Max is the son of superhero parents and is destined to be a superhero -- once he learns how to fly. When Max is faced with an emergency, his soaring abilities are brought to life, unleashing the hero within. Also in this episode, host LeVar Burton spends the day at the firehouse to find out what inspires these real-life heroes, and viewers follow the Wildlife Rescue Center of the Hamptons as they rescue, rehabilitate and release an injured goose.

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.
