Between the Lions Kicks off a New Season on September 21!

New episodes air every Monday at 6 a.m. and repeat Fridays at 6 a.m. on WGVU TV

Ten new episodes follow Theo, Cleo, Lionel and Leona as they break out of the library and travel - from the Island of Shazam, to Chinatown, New York, to the rivers of Mississippi, and the mountains of Alaska - on literacy-infused adventures. Shot for the first time in HD, they also feature new characters (including the Beetles, Hip-Hoppopotamus and Rhymocerus), new songs and 20 children's books and original stories that help to fulfill the show's mission to get kids "wild about reading."


As always, each episode takes an interactive approach to reading by encouraging children to think about the phonic elements, vocabulary and grammar that make up a story. This method, combined with the songs and adventures of the lion cubs, helps children gain the knowledge and
confidence they need to master reading! In fact, research studies in Kansas, New Mexico and Mississippi proved that young students who watch Between the Lions increased their literacy skills compared to those not exposed to the series.
