Product Description
Animated characters act out the story \Three little pigs" to help young children with reading"
Reading is simply putting words together to discover a story. When Mr. Websley glimpses Tad and his friends rehearsing "The Three Little Pigs," he reminisces about favorite childhood stories and is struck with an idea for a new invention--a talking storybook. Frog and Quigley are called to construct a new factory and Tad and his friends begin to rehearse in earnest since they're slated to be the stars of the book. Problem is, Tad has been cast as the narrator, but he doesn't know how to read. Professor Quigley and Leap reassure Tad that he already knows everything he needs to know to be a successful reader: he learned his letters and the sounds they make in the Letter Factory and that sounds combine to make words in the Talking Words Factory. All that's left is to combine the words to make a story. Tad learns some new tricks like "chunking" words together to sound like talking and that punctuation markings like commas and periods help with inflection. In no time, Tad is reading fluently and it looks like the talking storybook will be ready right on schedule. Viewers age 4 to 6 will develop their reading and comprehension skills right along with Tad thanks to on-screen highlighted text. DVD extras include a read-along storybook of a somewhat untraditional version of "The Three Little Pigs" that can be played with or without a voice track and five sing-along songs. --Tami Horiuchi

 Superb learning tool July 23, 2010
The bookish health nut (Third planet in the Sol System)
I first purchased this for my niece whose reading skills used to be below her class average. The Leapfrog products have since changed her life for the better. She is now one of the best readers in her school and I am a grateful Leapfrog customer.
 Good DVD July 11, 2010

I got this for my 3 yr old to watch. She loves the 3 little pigs story and has picked up the meaning of commas, periods, and exclamation points. Not sure if she's actually picking up how to read the actual words during the story, but she's just three, and this DVD is more for educational entertainment other than all the Disney princess cartoons she watches. I'm sure my 3yr old is starting to recognize the words she sees during the DVD.
My son loves it! July 6, 2010

I personally just thought it was okay but he loves it! He is learning so much. It is a really good way for kids to learn. I thought it was boring an uninspired but they must really get on the kids level. I have even had a friends hard to handle 7 year old at my home and he was even quiet when watching. Good buy!
A must have April 19, 2010
