Featured review
Nostalgic Gem
Reading Rainbow was integral to my youth and setting me on a path of critical thinking. The producers of this classic, educational show for children made reading books as interesting as watching a Saturday morning cartoon.
I looked forward to watching this show at school during a daily carve out in the morning or afternoon. Levar and his young guests were awe inspiring. The diverse and eclectic mix of students and book topics made all fell welcome. Reading Rainbow, the Scholastic Book Fair and Pizza Hut Book-it were my juvenile, beloved Trinity.
As a part of the local PBS broadcasting, Reading Rainbow touched the hearts of children everywhere, sharing stories of which many may have never been exposed. Thank you for unlocking a piece of my childhood!
