This series is built on a comprehensive literacy curriculum geared to beginning readers ages 4 to 7. The curriculum emphasizes both the pleasures and the value of reading, as well as the skills needed for learning how to read.
The series is named for a family of lions -- Theo, Cleo, Lionel and Leona -- that runs a library like no other. The doors "between the lions" swing open to reveal a magical place where characters pop off the pages of books, vowels sing and words take on a life of their own. Innovative puppetry, animation, live action and music are combined to achieve the educational mission of helping young children learn to read.
