For sixteen years, this series, hosted by LeVar Burton, has taken young viewers into the worlds of art, literature, science, and nature. This educational children's series is designed to introduce elementary school-age children to classic literature and encourage a love of reading books, through the fantastic adventures of Wishbone the dog. Wishbone serves as a canine bridge between life and literature as he embarks on exciting journeys that include elements of action, adventure, and comedy. This new series for kids is an updated version of the popular series from the 1970 s. This new ZOOM takes everything that was funny, irreverent, and playful about the original series and infuses it with '90's energy, attitude, and technology. Alisa, Jared, Keiko, Lynese, Pablo, and Zoe act, dance, goof around, read poems, do science experiments, talk, play games, whip-up a few snacks, and tell stories.
All ideas come from viewers.
