However, when they aren’t able to make jars fast enough, the kitchen quickly begins filling up with the purple, oozy treat! Only by working together are the friends able to find a way to contain all of the jiggling jelly.

“Get Well Soon Soup”
When Ant gets sick, Pig tries to take care of him by making his special Get-Well-Soon Soup. It has all the letters in the alphabet in it, so Pig can build any word that Ant needs to feel better. Pig just has to figure out what that word is!

“Catch That C!”
While Pig and Ant are making cookies, their bag of letter C’s gets away from them, sending the WordFriends on a wild goose chase all over WordWorld to catch that C! The bad news is that the letter C is in big demand that day. But the good news is that Pig and Ant have a lot of WordFriends who want to help them out!

“Mmm-mmm-milk!”
When Ant comes over to Pig’s house to eat cookies, Pig tries to get him to drink some milk. But Ant doesn’t like milk! Or so he thinks…

My Thoughts

This television show is a ton of fun for preschoolers. It's really unique because all the characters are actually made from the letters that spell their names, which really helps young kids to recognize the words when they see them later. This DVD set includes several of their fantastic episodes, all with a fun food and eating theme. They include:

J-J-Jelly
Get Well Soon Soup
Catch That C!
The Mystery of the Disappearing Pie
Pies, Pies, Pies!
Pig's Big Moonlight Feast
Mmm-mmm-milk!
A String's the Thing

My children just love this show and we're looking forward to seeing what they come up with next season. Any fan of WordWorld is going to want this DVD on their collection.
