Read-a-Roo

Joined by her long-time pal Miss Joy, Read-A-Roo meets new friends, samples yummy snacks, and learns about all the tasty vegetables and fruits available – many grown right here in North Carolina! Let’s Go Shopping with Read-A-Roo is a fun expedition for the entire family, filled with colorful characters and sing-along songs! Grab a shopping basket and come along! 

 Let’s Go Shopping with Read-A-Roo was made possible by a grant from the North Carolina Health and Wellness Trust Fund Commission, and its Fit Kids Initiative.
