Listening to Lavar is like traveling back to my childhood. When I was glued to my tv listening to him on Reading Rainbow. I wish there were more episodes. Loved it!

I even enjoy some of the science fiction stories. Levar’s voice is as soothing and engaging for adults as it is for kids. He’s not recording new episodes, but with over 300 available, I’ll be busy listening for a while.
