Super WHY Live: You've Got the Power

Super WHY Live: You've Got the Power

Reading is power and SUPER WHY! was created to help kids ages 3-6 learn the fundamentals of reading through interactive storybook adventures. Based on the PBS television series, SUPER WHY! represents a unique approach to preschool education, featuring a team of superhero characters with literacy-based powers, who jump into books to look for answers to everyday problems. The audience member is the superhero sidekick, who is encouraged and empowered to participate in the reading adventure by playing research-based literacy games.  

The standout, imagination-stimulating new show focuses on the adventures of four fairytale friends – the ever curious and resourceful 6-year-old Whyatt Beanstalk (Jack’s younger brother), Red of “Little Red Riding Hood” fame, Littlest Pig from “The Three Little Pigs” and Princess Pea of the classic “The Princess and The Pea.” As soon as a problem arises, Whyatt calls his friends to the Book Club, where they transform into reading-powered superheroes: Alpha Pig with Alphabet Power, Wonder Red with Word Power, Princess Presto with Spelling Power, Super Why with the Power to Read and Super YOU with the Power to Help. Together, they are “super readers,” jumping into books (literally) to find answers to everyday preschool challenges. Super Why and his friends embark on exciting reading adventures, where they play entertaining and amusing interactive reading games to overcome obstacles and save the day.

About the Show

When they’re not busy being superheroes, the four friends live in Storybrook Village, an enchanted town hidden deep behind the bookshelves of the library. The familiar meets the fantastic in Storybrook Village, a dynamic world made of found objects such as buttons, pipe cleaners, felt and game pieces that create a fascinating, yet recognizable and comforting, environment. When Super Why and his friends leap into a book, an amazing two dimensional pop-up world comes to life complete with a multitude of illustrative styles – from cut-out collages and water-color painted designs to pen and ink etchings.

SUPER WHY! is produced by Out of the Blue in conjunction with Canadian-based Decode Entertainment Inc. and C.O.R.E. Digital Pictures Inc. The series has a fresh, groundbreaking multimedia aesthetic – with a winning combination of two- and three-dimensional animation formats, adorable characters and immersive environments.
