Page Flippers Take on the World

Brooklyn Public Library

The Magic School Bus meets Reading Rainbow in this wacky library show for kids ages four to ten! In each episode, a different kid saves the day by exploring their interests, discovering new books, and talking to experts. Hosted by two Brooklyn Public Library children’s librarians, the show is designed to encourage a love of reading, increase kids’ confidence and introduce young listeners to the world of work … with lots of great songs and funny jokes, of course!
