  • Reading Rainbow Book List

    Reading Rainbow Book List

    COMPLETE READING LIST The PBS show Reading Rainbow was a favorite of my older children when they were small, and as I watched with them, it quickly became a favorite of mine too. Reading Rainbow introduced us to so many great children’s books that we otherwise would never have known about. It was not uncommon, on our weekly trips to the library, for me to seek out books that I had discovered on Reading Rainbow to read to them at home, and later, for them to read for themselves. Since Reading Rainbow went off the air in 2006, my younger children never had a chance to experience this great program. That is why I decided to compile this list. Every time we go to the library, or every time I am shopping for gifts, I will consult this list. I am sharing it with you so you can do the same if you’d like! To the right of every entry, there is a check box so you can keep track of the books you have read. Almost all of the books are still in print, and the few that are out of print are most likely available at your public library or your child’s school library. I could have put the books in alphabetical order by the author’s last name, or arranged them alphabetically by title, or I could have tried to group them by subject matter. In the end, however, I decided to list the books in the order they originally aired on Reading Rainbow.

    Landmarks Preservation Commission November 4, 1987; Designation List 194 LP-1315 MARTIN BECK THEATER, 302-314 West 45th Street, Manhattan. Built 1923-24; architect, G. Albert Lansburgh. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1035, Lot 37. On June 14 and 15, 1982, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Martin Beck Theater and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 11). The hearing was continued to October 19, 1982. Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Eighty-one witnesses spoke or had statements read into the record in favor of designation. One witness spoke in opposition to designation. The owner, with his representatives, appeared at the hearing, and indicated that he had not formulated an opinion regarding designation. The Commission has received many letters and other expressions of support in favor of this designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The Martin Beck Theater survives today as one of the historic theaters that symbo 1 ize American theater for both New York and the nation. It was bui 1 t in 1923-24 by Martin Beck, a West Coast producer who had formerly been president of the Orpheum Circuit. After building the Palace, the legendary New York vaudeville showcase, and being forced out of its management, Beck determined to build another New York theater for himself, and spent the rest of his life running it. Wanting to build as extraordinary a theater as possible, Beck brought archi teet G. Albert Lansburgh to New York from his native San Franc is co, where Lansburgh had been the Orpheum Circuit's chief architect.
