Reading Rainbow

This series of videotapes has caught Supriya's fancy. They pick a topic of interest to kids, find a few related books and build a show by actually going to the sites. LeVar Burton (of Star Trek fame) narrates the shows. They are fun to watch and get into the details of a lot of things. We got "Simon's Book" yesterday from the library and she has already watched it twice. It is about how a book is physically manufactured, the actual printing & binding etc. We borrowed a couple of them recently (one about fireworks and another about making pizza called "Little Nino's Pizzeria") and the kids watched them over and over again. Even Aseem could relate to those, which is a good sign.
