Barn Dance! (Full Screen)

PRODUCT SUMMARY

From the critically acclaimed, Emmy Award-winning PBS children's series, Reading Rainbow, this program presents the book by John Archambault and Bill Martin, Jr. Unable to sleep, a young boy follows the sound of music across the fields and finds an unusual barn dance in progress. Also in this episode, host LeVar Burton visits a Tennessee barn dance and learns about clogging, a group of bluegrass musicians perform and talk about their music, and viewers watch a fiddle maker at work.

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.
