Reading rainbow didn't teach me how to read per se, but to listen to others who are. Now I'm an audiobook junkie. Thanks, PBS!

[GreyGhostly]

Take a look its in a book, will now be "take a look its in e-book"

[snatchadams69]

this was one of the best shows ever..but don't take my word for it......

[lolitah028]

This show turned me into the avid book worm and library lover I am today. Just hearing the song takes me back to 2nd grade. I'm 34 now.

[gearboxbreaker]

butterfly in the sky, why did i get so high? i cant see anything, but lots of colorsssss

[kperry603]

I always wanted to be transformed into an illustration by a butterfly...

[eddiebaba]

That intro always mesmerized me as a kid and you know what, it still does.

[blakbanshee]

This was on right after I got off the bus from school. Damn I'm getting old!

[loljustice31]

Wow, this seriously brings back memories. I wonder if the dog-star at :25 is meant to be Sirius.

[Yerizzo]

Used to watch this all the time. But still never read any books.

[TheAharrison31]

This song actually kicks ass...someone should sample it

[lemons82]

@TheAharrison31 now that you mention it, it does sound like a Jay-Z song waiting to happen.lol

[metamorphosis743]

[Nightsparrow626]

[gwar10]

[shari04]

[Revanchist12]

Can someone provide the lyrics to this truly inspiring magnanimous composition?

[theburg727]

This was one of my favorite shows when I was a kid. I read so many books because of this show. My favorite episodes of this show were the Mrs. Nelson's Class, Abiyoyo, and the story about the Chinese kid with the pen that made things come to life. Too bad it's not still on television. This brings back so many memories.

[awesomecdiperson]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. I totally forgot about this show but now its aaaaaall coming back to me. damn it now this song is gonna play over and over in my head again just like back in the day
