Hot-Air Henry
LeVar experiences a colorful and exciting expedition in a hot-air balloon. He takes viewers to a hot-air ballooning event, then provides a comical look into the past at some flying machines that never made it off the ground. Finally, LeVar visits the National Space Camp where kids find out what it takes to become an astronaut.
Simon's Book
LeVar takes viewers into the studio of the author of Simon's Book, Henry Drescher, to find out how he came up with the idea for his book and to look at the original illustrations. LeVar then visits the printing plant to watch as a book is printed, pages are cut to size, and the book is bound.
Ox-Cart Man
LeVar is inspired by the story to visit Old Sturbridge Village, Massachusetts, a hands-on living museum where he discovers what life was like in the early 1800's. He learns about training oxen, blacksmithing, bartering, and early printing methods.
Mystery on the Docks
LeVar takes a trip to the docks to find out about "Big Momma Blue", a crane that loads and unloads freighters, and then goes for a spin on a tugboat to find out how they are used.
A Chair for My Mother
Just like the teamwork in this family, LeVar discovers how working together helps accomplish so much more than one individual working alone, as he joins a dance team and visits fire fighter's school.
