Hey, if you've got pledge time coming up on your PBS, check out ScienceTrek with LeVar Burton. I'm now a proud member of MPBN, and am getting a cool new Star Trek science book!
It's a very cool program, and who doesn't love LeVar Burton? I've got so many happy childhood memories of Reading Rainbow. I loved that show, from the fabulous theme song I sang along to (check it out here on YouTube), to the things I learned (like how tortellini is made), to LeVar's infectious laugh, to the book recommendations at the end. There is apparently a trend in children's television these days - an emphasis on teaching kids how to learn as opposed to showing kids that reading is fun, and fostering a love of reading. I'm a fan of the Reading Rainbow method, myself.
Plus, the theme song has a dragon!
