Synopsis by Alice Day
This episode of the award-winning Reading Rainbow series might start a discussion among students regarding what their pets might say if only they could talk. LeVar Burton's dog Duke hosts the show and takes a field trip around his neighborhood. The featured book, Martha Speaks, concerns a dog who gains the power of speech after ingesting some alphabet soup. Reading Rainbow: Martha Speaks is all about special canines, as viewers see some very talented animals perform their various tasks. An animal trainer explains how he teaches dogs to perform stunts for the camera, and another segment features dogs doing heroic deeds.
