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!

I bought this to show my 2nd grade class. Reading Rainbows, in general are tops, but some are better than others. I like 3 out of the 4 DVDs,(but for the price, it is worth it even for the 3). I judge this purely by my class, they were not wild about the DVD that pertains to music. One of the episodes on that one is an older one, and honestly we didn't even finish it, but if I remember, it didn't use the typical Reading Rainbow format. All the other episodes in this collection were a big hit though, and the DVD with Taxi Dog on it was worth it right there!

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.

I bought these DVD's for my 7yr old. I read to him all the time and he's always walking around with a book in his hand. He really enjoyed the DVD's but I was disappointed. I expected to hear the ORIGINAL theme song from the 80's. What you get on the DVD's in the newer version of the song from the 90's, I think, which SUCKS. Other than that the DVD's are great.

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.

I purchased it for my daughter and ourselves. we're not sure if she would like it or not, but she loved it. It's very sad to see this show off the air after 26yrs. Hopefully this company would produce more dvd sets for those love and enjoy the show.

I grew up on Reading Rainbow as did many people I know. To share this with my children is a great feeling. It makes you want to read and learn. But my only issue with these dvd's is that they are not in HD. Very old school, that was a little disappointing.

I bought this item for a gift. Although my great-grandson is too young right now for it, I am sure he will enjoy it in years to come. I know his mommy was thrilled with it. I appreciated the swift shipping of it.
