Reading Rainbow - DVD for 'If You Give A Mouse A Cookie' and 3 Other Episodes

Arlington, VA; April 27, 2015 - "Butterfly in the sky, I can go twice as high..." is the opening to the instantly recognizable theme song for the iconic series READING RAINBOW. PBS Distribution announced today it is releasing four episodes from READING RAINBOW on the new DVD "IF YOU GIVE A MOUSE A COOKIE." Since 1983, this beloved children's television series has been bringing stories to life.
READING RAINBOW aired on PBS from 1983-2009. Hosted by LeVar Burton (Roots, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Perception) for its entire 26-year run, the program encouraged a love of literature in millions of children and garnered more than 200 awards, including 26 Emmys and a Peabody Award.
READING RAINBOW has helped children build lasting relationships with books at home and in the classroom. The four episodes and books, featured in this DVD are "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie," read by Beth Howland, "Owen," read by Matthew Broderick, "Two Old Potatoes and Me," read by Jordan Puryear, and "Mr. George Baker," read by Wayne Brady.
"IF YOU GIVE A MOUSE A COOKIE" will be available on DVD May 12, 2015. The DVD run time is approximately 120 minutes and its SRP is $6.99. Additional details about the episodes included on this DVD are below:
"If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" - Reader: Beth Howland
One thing leads to another in this episode, with LeVar in a bowling alley, showing how certain actions lead to consequences. Included is a piece on an expert at domino displays and domino art. Beth Howland reads "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie," the tale of a little boy who offers a cookie to a mouse, and all the events that occur afterwards as a result.
"Owen" - Reader: Matthew Broderick
It's easy to get flashbacks while watching READING RAINBOW. Now it's LeVar's turn, as he gets in touch with visions of "his boyhood." Matthew Broderick reads "Owen," about a little mouse who's very attached to his security blanket and doesn't want to give it up, even if it means he will be teased when he starts school.
"Two Old Potatoes and Me" - Reader: Jordan Puryear
Jordan Puryear reads "Two Old Potatoes and Me," about a girl who works with her father to recycle two old potatoes by replanting them using the sprouts to grow a whole new crop of potatoes. LeVar, working with his daughter, is inspired to make a potato dish from a recipe in the book.
"Mr. George Baker" - Reader: Wayne Brady
Wayne Brady narrates the story of an elderly man who decides to go back to school to learn to read, even though he is almost 100, and his relationship with his young neighbor as they wait for the bus every day.
