ONCE
UPON A BEDTIME 
....... is
a cooperative effort between Berkshire
Television, TimeWarner Cable of the Berkshires and
Little Brown & Co. The authors and illustrators have
generously granted us the right to use their beautiful books in the
creation of this program. Originally the program was created to provide
an alternative to traditional prime time television programming. Reading
is a wonderful bedtime activity and we believe that it should be encouraged
as much as possible. We also realize that parents' time has become more
and more divided in this busy world, thus we have tried to provide an
option. Once Upon A Bedtime is a television show for children and their
families. The shows are approximately 30 minutes in length depending
on the length of the books. The books are read in their entirety supported
by their illustrations, and a music sound bed if appropriate. The shows
air on local cable stations and are also available to local schools,
complete with lesson plans and copies of the books. These are provided
to the schools at no charge. Research has shown that reading to children
encourages them to pick up books and read to themselves. Once Upon A
Bedtime was not designed to replace parents reading to their children,
but to help fill in the gaps and create an additional level of interest
in books. Berkshire Television is providing the production for the programming
and all the "leg work" for the project. We obtain the appropriate permissions,
prepare the lesson plans, and both the 3/4" and 1/2" copies of the programs.
Copies of the books are provided by Little Brown & Co., Arcade Publishing,
& Sierra Club Books for Children. All of this is being done without
monetary compensation. We cannot thank the authors, illustrators and
publishers for their help and generosity. We look forward to continuing
this project for many years and even at some point in the near future
adding it to the world wide web. If you would like more information
