Word World Sheep's Magic Hat

The newest--and hottest--children's educational property is launching this fall. It's coming to video, television, toys, clothing, bedding, and--with help from Running Press Kids--to books! We're introducing our series of Word World books with eight titles this fall, and at least eight more books to follow soon after. The concept behind Word World, vetted by well-known psychologist Dr. Laura Brown, is innovative and educationally sound. The program is expected to become part of school curricula across the country. It's all about word building, a key skill for children aged 3 to 6 that comes alive in the books, which are interactive, educational, and fun. Combining wooden blocks--a childhood favorite--plus a beard book with an irresistible story and the delightful Word World characters, this series offers all the support a child needs to start learning the exciting new skill of reading. Each book contains five wooden blocks with a Word World letter on each side (30 in all). The blocks fit into special die-cut areas of the books, encouraging and supporting even very young children as they learn to spell words correctly. Bear, awakening from a nap with her stomach growling from hunger, sets out on a journey to find a pizza tree. Along the way she encounters various friends such as Pig, Dog, and Sheep. Imagine her surprise when the tree turns out to hold not a pizza, but rather a round, pizza-shaped beehive full of honey!Moody-Luther, Jacqui is the author of 'Word World Sheep's Magic Hat', published 2005 under ISBN 9780762420988 and ISBN 0762420987.
