Word World

Welcome to Word World, where words reign. Word World brings words to life by embedding them in the objects they represent. Each episode is a fun narrative built around a wacky troupe of word friends, who are characters first and words second. Shy Sheep loves to pretend; cautious Frog is the brainiac and word "expert"; impetuous Duck is still learning his letters (and social skills); gregarious Pig lives in the moment; pragmatic Ant is always on the go; affable Dog is a word friend's best friend.

Word World charactersWord World's word friends invite preschool viewers to join them on comic adventures, where problems can be resolved only by "building" the right word. Word building is a unique moment when children witness a word form "morph" into the thing it is. Word building reinforces the prereading concept that letters make words and that words have real meaning. Words come alive, words save the day, and words become a child's best friend in this 3-D animated series. Learning to form words has never been this much fun!
