Summary In one of the rare times Reading Rainbow uses a studio set, LeVar tells about storytelling through music. The then-new art of music videos is first up, with clips of "Who's Johnny" and footage of Run-D.M.C. performing "My Adidas." Pete Seeger appears on the set to perform his version of the folktale "Abiyoyo." He explains that he adapted an old African folk tale, about a boy who helps get rid of a giant terrorizing his town, when Seeger's children pestered him to come up with a unique bedtime story that included music. Then, in an example of avant-garde music, a clip of the video "Luminare" by Dean Winkler and John Sanborn, with music by Daniel Lentz from "Is it Love" is seen. Also unique: all the book reviewers share the stage with LeVar.
