PreS-Gr 1—Whyatt, the younger brother of Jack (of the Beanstalk fame) is back with his Storybook Village friends: Pig, Red Riding Hood, and Princess Pea. The team members have the power to read and to look to books for the answers they need. Delightful music and lilting voices invite little ones into the puzzles as the storybook characters solve riddles by using the ABCs, words, and spelling to decode missing letters. In the first of four 30-minute puppy-themed stories, "Woofster Finds a Home," the pals meet a new canine friend, Woofster, whose doggie dictionary provides definitions. Parents and teachers will appreciate the vocabulary and decoding skills being taught as young viewers find the clues, read the words, and are praised upon offering correct answers—"Give your tail a wag!"
VERDICT Children will enjoy the lively tunes, humorous animation, and interactive elements of this program.
