Wordgirl

K-Gr 4—It's a noun! It's a verb! It's Wordgirl! Fighting crime and teaching vocabulary, Wordgirl will be a super hit with children. This version of the PBS Kids GO animated television series includes three action-packed episodes. In "Wordgirl: The Rise of Miss Power," viewers learn about bullies and how words can hurt more than super strength. In "A World without Wordgirl," Wordgirl is overwhelmed by her super powers and inadvertently wishes them away. The final episode is a segment from Wordgirl's favorite show, "Pretty Princess and the Magic Pony Power Hour." Two interactive games are accessible by computer: "Huggy Dance," a simple game where players have to match a facial expression to the right word, and "Power Words," where you choose the word that will best help Wordgirl out of her jam. PDF descriptions of Wordgirl content are included for parents, and there are printable coloring pages. With Wordgirl around, you will always know the right word to get the job done!—;Amanda Schiavulli, West Orange Public Library, NJ
