And the Winners Are ...

Congratulations and thanks to all of the Kentucky kids who sent in stories for the Reading Rainbow Young Writers and Illustrators Contest. The state-level winners in each of the four grade categories are posted on our web site.

Animalia Comes to TV

Inspired by the popular children’s book, Animalia presents a spectacular world of talking animals whose civilization is endangered by changes in the way the animals communicate. Coming to the rescue are Alex and Zoe, who join forces with G’Bubu the gorilla and Iggy the iguana to restore stability to this wondrous land. Designed for children ages 6-9, the series supports literacy skills while setting a new benchmark as the first television series to use a variety of 3D animation techniques typically reserved for big-budget feature films. • Fridays at 5:00/4:00 pm CT on KET1Visit the web site »
