(just read)
This is a great show. I use to LOVE it. It's all about books (which i refer to as my "truest luffies" and everyone knows that I mean books). Reading Rainbow features many classic and entertaining books with very animated readers. They also make it more excitig by making the story "come to life". They take all the pictures and animate them. And Levar Burtan (if he's still the host) has some very interesting scenarios that he gets into. My brother and I always found it entertaining to guess the age of the episode as well. :) It's an amazing show and I'm so glad they show all the reruns endlessly. I'm also thankful to the fact that my parents shoved PBS and the news down my throat from the time I was born.

A classic-- best ever!
Ever since I was a child watching this show I've loved it-- me and my friends can still sing the theme song even though we're in college. Great, classic show for encouraging kids to read!!! But you don't have to take my word for it...

GREAT show!
My 3 1/2 year old loves this show! I pick her up from school at 1pm 2 days a week and she asks if it is time for Between the Lions and then says "And I will watch Reading Rainbow after. That is my favorite show". Nice to know that classic shows can survive!!

Mr. Rogers.. is always my neighbor!
I use to enjoy this show when I was a kid. I'm an 80s baby, and I miss how Mr. Rogers likes to visit "real life" events and teaches kids how things are made, and I use to love it how he use to take off his coat and his shoes everyday and puts a new coat on ^^ I use to love the Trolly Train

Iffy for 5-9
This is a great show, and 99% of the episodes are appropriate for children over the age of 4 or 5, but I remember one episode was centered around the theme of slavery, and this is definitely not appropriate for 5 year olds.

Great Show!!!
This show has been there a long time. Thank god PBS still airs ALL of the reruns of this magificent show. It never lost any of the educational content it had ever since 1983. THANK GOD PBS FOR KEEPING ALL OF THE RERUNS OF READING RAINBOW, if only you would bring back the early episodes of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood (1979 and up reruns still air), and Sesame Street (bring back the earlier 1969 episodes, please) and bringing back retired PBS shows like Lamb Chop, Electric Company, 3-2-1 Contact, Theodore Tugboat, Puzzle Place, Magic School Bus (still reruns on Discovery Kids and TLC), Shining Time Station (I did hear rumors about this one rerunning on Playhouse Disney later this Fall), Ghostwriter, Wishbone, Wimzie's House, Bloopy's Buddies, Adventures in the Book of Virtues, Square One Television, and so much more retro PBS KIDS titles you remember!!! LEVAR'S THE MAN!!!

Excellent for older preschoolers
We've borrowed a number of these on DVD from our local library. Each episode is about a different them, and has several components introducing the young viewers to the world around them. My daughter loves the variety. The show's content is absolutely age-appropriate.

Reading made fun
When I was younger, I wasn't really into this show (I wasn't into reading). However, it encourages kids to read, and they try to male reading fun. It's usually okay for kids; but one episode was rated TV-Y7 because it was about being in jail and slavery.
