The CBS Storybreak was a cartoon where each week they would take some children's book, cut it down to make it fit the time slot and animate it. It was hosted by this cat dressed up as a sailor, Captain O.G. Readmore. In fact, he's probably even more O.G. than Ice Cube and Dr. Dre.
Anyway, this was a show we didn't watch much because it didn't come on until nearly lunchtime (maybe even after lunchtime) on Saturdays and at that point we were usually out playing with friends or doing whatever we did on Saturdays back then. But O.G. was always a featured commercial during the earlier cartoons encouraging us to read books and of course tune in for his show.

I came across your post while researching o.g. readmore because I thought he hosted cbs storybreak too. But the real life captain kangaroo hosted cbs storybreak in the 80s, and cap'n o.g. readmore hosted the abc weekend specials. its the nerd in me who felt the need to correct a 5 year old post, but hey, knowledge is power and the power is yours! =D
