The disadvantages of being small are discussed in Reading Rainbow: Hotel Animal, and young viewers are sure to be able to relate to the experiences offered in the program. Math concepts are part of the fun, as workers from the Matchbox car company talk about how cars are scaled down for their toys. Host LeVar Burton has a dream in which he is tiny, and is relieved when he realizes it was all a dream. The featured book concerns two small lizards who book a room at the Hotel Animal, where everyone else is much bigger. Books reviewed by kids include Zoom and Mr. Tall and Mr. Small. ~ Alice Day, Rovi
