Reading Rainbow One of the best inventions ever was the book. A book lets you zoom through time and space, but don't bother packing. You can stay in one place. Whether you head north, south, east, or west A book can be your passport From your own neighborhood To the craters of the moon In your imagination When you read a good book You bring the book to life You bring the book to life When you read a good book You're the actor A book lets you zoom, zoom through time and space But don't bother packing You can stay in one place Zoom, zoom through time and space But you don't have to take my word for it There are stories everywhere you look If you look in the right way New castles to build, mysteries to be solved The answer is in a book Believe it or not, this is a book. Big or little, it doesn't matter. It's what's inside that counts. I love maps All kinds of maps Each one tells me something different about the world There is a map for just about any place You're interested in going Even the littlest idea Can end up as something big All of these books started out as an idea And look where they ended up A book lets you zoom, zoom through time and space But don't bother packing You can stay in one place Zoom, zoom through time and space But you don't have to take my word for it Inventing takes imagination.
