Product Description: In WordWorld, words come alive, words save the day, and words become a child's best friend.
Welcome to WordWorld, the first preschool series where words are truly the stars of the show! Come along for an adventurous romp into a colorful, vibrant world of words with the lovable, legible WordFriends, animals whose bodies are made up of the letters that spell the word they are! The WordFriends go on comic adventures and face challenges that can only be resolved with the right word. That word is built letter by letter, sound by sound, during the funky "Build a Word!" song at the end of every episode. Once the word is built it "morphs," or comes alive into the thing it is! Word building reinforces the pre-reading concept that letters (and their sounds) make words, and that words have real meaning...and power. The series also introduces literacy concepts that preschoolers will encounter as they become readers, such as sounding out letters and rhyming. But most of all, WordWorld helps children get excited about reading and see words as their friends.
Includes these Episodes: Happy Birthday Dog! Dog's friends are planning a surprise birthday party for him, but they don't have a cake! With a little help from Pig, Frog gathers the letters C-A-K-E...but can he them to the party without ruining the surprise? Sh-Sh-Shark! When Duck befriends a Shark, he learns that the letters S and H make the "sh" sound, and everyone else discovers that you can't judge a shark by his sharp-toothed cover. The Mystery of the Disappearing Pie Pig's pie for Bear has gone missing! Have no fear Detective Sheep is ready to help her WordFriends follow the letter clues and solve the mystery of the disappearing pie! Snug as a Bug When Bug can't sleep because he needs to be snug, he and his favorite neighbor, Frog, have to figure out the end of the rhyme: "Snug as a bug in a..." Can YOU guess the end?

This series drove me up the wall...why? Because my 3 year old could not get enough it! Which isn't always a bad thing. He was so engaged with the characters and spelled right along with them.
