From the critically acclaimed, Emmy Award-winning PBS children's series, Reading Rainbow, this program presents the book by William Joyce. In Joyce's story, a vacationing family finds a dinosaur whom they name Bob. The family brings Bob back to America, where he becomes the talk of the town when it is discovered that he plays baseball. Also in this episode, host LeVar Burton visits the Oakland Athletics batting practice, and Steve Albert interviews Reading Rainbow Pony Baseball Tournament players.

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.
