Synopsis by Alice Day
In Reading Rainbow: Adventures of Taxi Dog, Vincent Gardenia reads the story of a stray dog, Maxi, and his friend Jim. LeVar Burton takes on the role of a cabbie, teaching viewers how to grab a taxi, and what a meter does. A real-life story involves Lisa, who must depend on her dog Cosmo to help her with the daily activities of a 15-year-old. Books reviewed by the kids include Taxi: A Book of City Words, I Want a Dog, and The First Dog. The series is devoted to instilling a love of reading into the minds of children from preschool through fourth grade.
