Take a look...

Remember Reading Rainbow? I do. And I still mourn its loss. For 25 years LeVar Burton and his League of Extraordinary Children shared children's books every day on public television. They made recommendations, they narrated stories with clever animation, and LeVar traveled around the world to locations relevant to the daily theme. Basically, LeVar had the best job in the world (next to being a children's librarian) and I guess he's missed it because he's making plans to bring Reading Rainbow into the 21st century! He's launching a website (still under construction), and he's announced the development of an iPad app that will allow kids to explore topics of interest, with videos (some familiar and some new) of LeVar visiting relevant locations. And, of course, through the app he'll be sharing books. So, all you iPad users make sure to keep your eye out for the new app. You can say it's for your kiddos, but if you're like me, you may just want to get lost in the rainbow yourself.

But you don't have to take my word for it.
