Pretty sure this little guy has no idea that Levar Burton also played Lieutenant Junior Grade Geordi La Forge in the Star Trek: The Next Generation during the same time that he hosted Reading Rainbow. Confusing to some loyal viewers who also watched Star Trek: The Next Generation with their parents.

So many Jooolias to choose from! We’re loving this “Chicken Sisters” Julia Child costume.
Every day when you’re
Walking down the street,
Everybody that you meet
Has an original point of view.
And I say – Hey! (Hey!)
What a wonderful kind of day
If we could learn to work and play
And get along with each other.

Could you be mine?
Won’t you be my neighbor?
Won’t you please,
Won’t you please?
Please won’t you be my neighbor?
For the new generation of Mister Rogers fans.
