Five kids, and I've never heard of this show.  What did I miss?

LeVar Burton hosted a show where kids would talk about their favorite books.  I guess it had some other stuff in it too.

I hated that show with a passion.  Those kids were totally reading cue cards or a teleprompter.  It didn't help that I hated 99.999% of kids books when I was a kid.
