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

 Excellent DVD!!! Have 3 yr old November 17, 2008
My son loves this DVD. He is 3 and can only read certain words. But this video helped him understand how sentences, stories flow. Now, when we read a book together, he will say "that's a comma...that means to pause." He does the same with any punctuation now. I definitely recommend this DVD.

Not as great as the Word and Letter Factory but the song teaching Punctuation is definitely a great one.
FANTASTIC!!!! October 26, 2008
I bought the whole set of these dvd's...They are fantastic!!
They really help your child to read..
Awesome video! August 10, 2008
All the Leap Frog videos are wonderful! We have all of them and this is definitely a favorite. Ideas like plot, setting, characters and chunking are used. My kids range from 3-7 and they all love them!
Not good reading- One star rating May 21, 2008

This is just awful, first of all, Tad, is reading too quickly for someone who went from learning three letter words, secondly, his pronunciation is incorrect, particularly of the word 'a', he says 'uh' and instead of 'the' he pronounces 'thu', I was not pleased. This could have been much better but they failed miserably on this one. Update: Thank you for noticing that, I did not mean to give it 5 stars, it was suppose to be 1 star. Disregard the stars there and take my review here.
