Review

In Word World, set in a lush landscape filled with funny barnyard animals, the messages are clearer: because each animal is graphically spelled out, kids can watch as the letters P-I-G form that porcine creature. Even the scenery gets in on the act- a barn, a tree, a splash in the lake. When animals take time to build a word (always a moment of great expectation and jubilation), you can actually witness the little wheels working in the viewers' heads. After just one viewing, a 4-year-old who's always struggled with her letters volunteered to spell a new word: B-O-X. Presents don't get any better than that. -- --Entertainment Weekly

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Kids Show!, October 25, 2007

By	M. Musselman (Bethlehem, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a wonderful kids show! My 3 1/2 year old son adores it - he sings along and pretends to build words just like the characters. It is visually appealing with lovable, non-annoying characters. My son loves the stories and being able to pick out many of the letter. Great, educational, program!!

5.0 out of 5 stars My kids and I LOVE this show!!, October 9, 2007

By	A. ries "ALR" (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is, in my opinion, the BEST kids' show to come around in a very, very long time. It helps kids recognize their letters, sound out words, and spell, which I appreciate. However, learning aside- this show is fantastic. It is HILARIOUS, the characters are well-developed and lovable, and the quality is fantastic.
I know this show is meant for preschoolers, but my 7 year old loves it too. She is a beginning reader, and she feels very cool being able to recognize all the words in WordWorld. I am preordering both DVDs, and in the meantime we'll continue to catch it on PBS.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is not a movie- It's episodes, March 6, 2008

By	Mom2BE "bectrek" (Mckinney TX) - See all my reviews

I agree with the other reviewers. Word World is a show that parents can enjoy with their children without going batty. The music is catchy, the subjects of each episode are interesting. My 3 year old learned how to spell stop & several other words after seeing this show only a few times. Yes, he is only memorizing at this point, but it's a start.
***Only one negative here....this DVD is 3 TV episodes. You can DVR this at home if you get PBS. I almost bought this thinking it was a 60min movie, but I see now it is only episodes that we already have on DVR. I won't waste my money. Glad I noticed. Buy it if you don't have a DVR. Great shows
