When tots enter WordWorld, words come to life as buildings, scenery and the barnyard animals who inhabit it emerge from the letters that make up their names -- P-I-G turning into a tiny trotter, C-O-W forming a bovine beauty and so on. The pre-reading set will soon be the post-reading set as they join in on a series of comic adventures that are resolved only by finding the correct word -- in the process sounding out words, rhyming and more.
