"Have you always wanted to visit a fictional coastal town, populated by rain boots? OK, me neither until now, but the animated children’s series Rainboot Cove definitely makes me wish I could spend some time there!

Rainboot Cove is an educational website that uses video, games, and quizzes in fun and unusual ways to explore language, history, and community. The meaning of various words is explored in the stories told about the town, and history is explored by finding similarities between themes found locally, and events in the past."
