Editorial Review:
In this twist on a classic tale Tad Lily Casey and Dot act out "The Three Little Pigs". It all takes place in the Storybook Factory--where pictures words and imagination bring stories to life! For children ages 3-6.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: CHILDREN/FAMILY UPC: 012569718814
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
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Not good reading- One star rating
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.

Rating:  - My Kids Love This Series
I don't know why, but it's true. They love the Leap Frog Series of DVDs. I guess they have the perfect mix of entertainment and education! We have a few other Learn-to-Read DVDs, but these are the ones my kids consistently choose. -Jen
Rating: - Great purchase!
My daughter is 5 years old and this has help her a lot with reading. She is more confident now. Instead of watching a movie she would watch this DVD and practice reading at home or in the car. I have bought all four Leap Frog DVDs and they are excellent!
Rating: - LOVE IT!!!!
My children love the leap frog videos! It is wonderful to know that while they are watching tv they are also learning!!! I can't reccomend them enough! My kindergartner is also well ahead of her peers in reading thanks to these videos.
