PRODUCT SUMMARY
From the critically acclaimed,
Emmy Award-winning PBS children's series,
Reading Rainbow, this program presents the book by Keith DuQuette. The book explores math from a different perspective as two tiny lizards check into an oversized Hotel Animal. In the episode, host LeVar Burton discovers some of the many ways math is used as the MATCHBOX car production team demonstrates its process for "shrinking" cars, and a submarine sandwich shop owner fills an order for a six-foot-long sandwich.
The Reading Rainbow programs are designed to encourage children to read by transporting them to exciting, real-life settings. The series introduces kids to interesting new people and places, explores social and cultural issues, and offers a close-up look at the world around them. Its dynamic, fast-paced, colorful animation and hip music entertain and reinforce these experiences, and help children embrace positive reading habits, skills and attitudes.
