Get wild about reading with Between the Lions!
Visit a family of special lions who live in a library where characters pop off the pages, vowels sing, and words take on lives of their own. Parents Theo and Cleo and cubs Lionel and Leona share their favorite stories with you through a mix of live action, puppetry, and animation. And you'll get better at reading when you meet their colorful friends, who make learning to read fun with zany songs, hilarious skits, and more.

It's fun and it works.
