Hooray for Reading - "Bad Times of Irma Baumlein" (#9, 1979)

Views: 1255

Here is the ninth in a series of ten, minute-long shorts (or interstitials as they are sometimes known) created by Field Communications for children called Hooray for Reading. These would air during the commercial breaks on kid's shows and cartoons. (Sorry, I don't have the 10th and final one)

These featured kids briefly doing some other activity besides reading (the "hook") and then describing a book they like using a brief dramatization of a part in the story.
