C&K*s Mommie replied: I know... I did not know until recently really. We saw a little of it today, I may have to push the kids naptimes back until that show goes off, I think it is very educational. I know I enjoyed it as a kid.

C&K*s Mommie replied: you are a HOOT, Nadia!!! (I liked the something, something, something...rhymes with sky part LOL )

NEWMOM05 replied: I used to watch that when I was a nanny for the twins. I sang with it everytime. Now it's stuck in my head. Thanks.

1lilpeanut2love replied: The show was definitely educational and better than some other shows kids watch these days!!

5littleladies replied: I loved Reading Rainow, and I have my kids watch it when I remember.

And isn't it soo thing like-Butterfly in the sky, I can fly twice as high.

luvmykids replied: I'd forgotten all about that show, we'll have to start it up again.

DVFlyer replied: My modified version.......


Butterfly in the sky, I can go twice as high
But when I looked up, a bird pooped in my eye.
Take a look, it's in a book - Reading Rainbow.

I can go anywhere!
As long as they don't stare
at the poop in my eye
from looking up in the sky.

I can be anything!
I can even sing
About the poop in my eye
From looking up at the sky
At that darn butterfly
Take a look, it's in a book - Reading Rainbow.

DVFlyer replied: I have the brain capacity of a 2 year old, so my creativity is limited to pooping comedy.
