Customer Reviews

Wonderful
Reading rainbow was my favorite show when I was growing up...it was probably one of the reasons I am such I big reader. It is a wonderful show that I think should have never gone off the air. I reccomend this to every child, even those who don't like reading...Reading rainbow had a way to make the books interesting and come to life.

Best children's educational series
Move over "Sesame Street," it's "Reading Rainbow!" This is a wonderful children's series, which encourages children to read. Each segment has children giving a brief description of the book they read.

Be prepared to go on to a journey of make-believe, and have fun while you're doing it by reading the suggested books these children recommend!

I grew up on this show in the 80's, and it's amongst the best educational shows. The theme song inspires children to reach beyond the sky's limits and explore the wonderful world of reading!

This series is perfect and entertaining for the child who enjoys reading, and even for the child, who doesn't like reading.

Highly recommended for children, parents and teachers, alike!

Buy it today, you'll be glad you did!

Continues through the Generations
The favorite TV show of my children was Reading Rainbow. The explanation to go with each story, the tours of factories to show how something was made are memories they carry today. I purchased this set for my Grandchildren as we can't even find reruns of this spectacular childrens program. My daughter can delight is telling her children about her favorite Reading Rainbow stories - two of which are in this set.
The facts Lavar Burton presents to the children are remembered. They do think about the whales and mannatee - two favoriet topics for a library trip.
