{"product_id":"wordworld-rocket-to-the-moon-1","title":"WordWorld: Rocket to the Moon","description":"Product Description\n\nIn WordWorld the WordFriends go on comic adventures and face challenges that can only be resolved with the right word. That word is built letter by letter, sound by sound, during the funky \"Build a Word\" song at the end of every episode. Once the word is built, it morphs, or comes alive, into the thing it is! Word building reinforces the pre-reading concept that letters (and their sounds) make words, and that words have real meaning...and power. The series also introduces literacy concepts that preschoolers will encounter as they become readers, such as sounding out letters and rhyming. But most of all, WordWorld helps children get excited about reading and see words as their friends.\n\nReview\n\nIn 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\n\n**PARENT'S CHOICE AWARDS GOLD WINNER 2008** Collected segements from the PBS Kids show World World, Rocket to the Moon contains four 10-minute stories in which animated characters act out vignettes that emphasize spelling. For example, in the Pies Pies Pies episode, Pig is trying to makes pies for all of his friends, but doesn't have enough letters to make them. Throughout the vignette, the letters P-I-E are shown in a variety of formats (i.e. in the pie, in the sky) while the characters verbally spell out PIE and eventually P-I-E-S. The title story demonstrates the impact of upper and lower case letters, and in There's an Ant in Every Giant, young viewers watch tiny Ant make a big impact. In World World, learning is a way of life. In a word, WOW. --Parent's Choice Awards 2008\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000S5NV62\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B000S5NV62.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eBinding: DVD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
