Jaw-dropping advance: my toddler prefers Word World over Die

"My toddler was a Diego junkie, heaven help me. Luckily, we have no cable, so we could only watch on library DVDs or the few we bought ourselves. A friend turned us onto Word World, and my little one switched cold-turkey from a Diego-holic to Word World. We've bought several of them -- these are great to watch when you just need to make a phone call or whip together a recipe, and want to keep the baby busy.



I like the voices, I like the characters, the songs are *not* like Dora's "I'm the map, I'm the map, I'm the map, I'm the map, I'm the MAP!", the visuals are clever, and the stories are funny.



Anyway, I am really strict about TV time, and Word World makes the grade. Thanks, PBS -- this is a surprise hit."

Love Word World!

"My 8 month old daughter loves this show! She claps and dances to the music and is just fascinated with it. We are collecting all of the characters right now for her - she loves to pull them apart and then stick them back together. They are great learning tools ... we use them to point out letters, the sounds they make, the sounds they make when they come together and then the word itself! A great association tool. I hope to have many more DVDs to come!"
