Description: Viewers will meet a young entrepreneur who turns bright colors into big business. And they'll also encounter a unique twist on walking the family dog. The perfect job is hard to come by and in FOX ON THE JOB by James Marshall, a lazy fox has an amusing time looking for one. Inspired by this delightful tale, LeVar goes to work on some household chores.
