Word World: Happy Word Day

The Story

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. These two books have text based on the first two episodes of the upcoming video/television series, and feature multiple lift-the-flaps per page. Each book has ten pages made of strong coated board, designed to withstand the many readings they're destined to receive. The gang realizes that they forgot Dog's birthday. Using their ingenuity, Bear, Frog, Sheep, and Pig come up with the letters to make party hats, cake, and a birthday card. But Bear's misspelling creates a monster that may rum her gift to Dog. Find out how the gang gets the monster to go 'back to letters' so the party can go on.
