35 Video Set
Primary/Elementary Grades
A dream team of talent from Sesame Street, The Electric Company, and Jim Henson Productions, together with literary experts from around the country, has transformed learning to read into an entertainment adventure. An unusual library, run by a family of lions, brings books, words, and story characters magically to life!
Each 30-minute episode uses music, stories, live action, animation, and puppetry to present a balanced 'whole-part-whole' approach to learning to read. This is an excellent curriculum supplement for children learning to read! Curriculum Content
