The American academy of pediatrics encourages pediatricians to prescribe reading activities along with other instructions given to parents at well-child visits, and strongly recommends daily reading to children from 6 months of age. A new daily children's television series coming to PBS in 1999-2000 is called Between the Lions. The mission of this entertaining and ambitious series is nothing less than helping children learn to read. Between the Lions is named for Theo and Cleo, two lions who run a remarkable library where books, words, and letters vividly come to life. Official spokeslion, Theo, will make public appearances to promote the campaign.
