I am so glad I decided to buy this

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 19, 2016

I have lost count the number of times my son has asked to watch this. He is so fascinated by the episode "if you give the mouse a cookie" but not because of the story. If you remember watching any of the reading rainbows as a kid you will remember those segments before the books. There is one here on bowling. It gives a behind the scene look at where the ball goes after you throw it down the lane. It also shows how bowling balls are made. My 4 year old son thinks this bowling segment is the coolest thing ever. There is also a segment on dominoes that has gotten my son interested in setting up his own layout. I originally got this DVD for the story but I forgot how interesting and educational the segments in-between the stories really are. I am so glad I decided to buy this!

Loved this as a kid. It's a great show for children.

My issue is the stream. Everything is completely out of order -- seasons, episodes, years, etc., and the original animated opening is gone. I don't know if this is PBS' fault, or Amazons.

I loved this show while I was growing up. Such nostalgia!

The original theme song was epic but it looks like they replaced all the episodes with the new one (from 2000)--which is not as awesome.

The season's episodes are all mixed up too. For instance season 1 has shows from '93, '95, '04 and '05. Crazy.

You have to hunt around for all the episodes from the 80's. The clothing from that era is entertaining!

LaVar Burton is such an enthusiastic host and it seems to come from a time when public television actually helped children learn new things. Sharing the excitement with my children now is really fun!

It works just right, and it's exactly what I was looking for. I would never have guessed that the book called "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" had been on a "Reading Rainbow" episode. That's a story that I grew up with.

Ordered 1 episode - 'If You Give a Mouse a Cookie' because it's one of my daughter's favorite books and she LOVES Reading Rainbow. This is a great episode and really fun for little kids if you are trying to introduce them to RR.

Wonderful learning experience for adults and children. It reminds me when I was in grade school when we had a rainy day and had to come inside and watch educational films. My grandchildren love it as well as the books.
