Leona, the lovable cub from the Emmy® award-winning PBS KIDS® television series BETWEEN THE LIONS, will meet and greet new friends on Saturday, March 6th at the Children’s Museum of Richmond. Leona is the four-year-old in the family of lions who run a library like no other library on earth! It is a magical place where children learn to read. While Leona is not reading yet, she loves to get her paws on a good book. She especially enjoys being read to by her parents, Theo and Cleo, and her older brother, Lionel.
BETWEEN THE LIONS is a multimedia educational initiative created to help children ages 3-7 acquire beginning reading skills and a love of reading. It is built around a curriculum that incorporates the most recent scientific research in literacy instruction. Each episode features an engaging variety of animation, puppetry, live action, and music. The series is part of PBS KIDS Raising Readers, a national reading initiative focused on helping children ages 2-8 build their reading skills – especially those from low-income families BETWEEN THE LIONS airs weekdays on WCVE at 2PM and on WCVW at 6AM.
There will be story reading, BETWEEN THE LIONS videos, and children’s activities at the Children’s Museum of Richmond. For more information, call the museum at 474-7070.
Leona would love to meet you. Won’t you join Leona and your friends from WCVE at the Children’s Museum on Saturday, March 6th?
