Snowy Day: Stories and Poems (Full Screen)

PRODUCT SUMMARY

From the critically acclaimed, Emmy Award-winning PBS children's series, Reading Rainbow, this program presents the book by Caroline Feller Bauer. The feature book contains a collection of stories and poems with snow as a common theme. Also in this episode, Lena Horne reads the poem 'Winter Morning' by Ogden Nash, and host LeVar Burton travels to the Alaskan wilderness to meet a woman who trains sled dogs to race in the Iditarod.

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.
