2015 – PBS Distribution announced today it is releasing
four stories from PBS KIDS’ popular SUPER WHY series on the new
DVD “THE THREE BILLY GOATS GRUFF AND OTHER FAIRYTALE ADVENTURES”
on January 26, 2016. The four reading-powered adventures on this
DVD not only help kids with the critical skills they need to

trying!
The four stories included on this DVD are “The Three Billy Goats
Gruff,” “The Tortoise and the Hare,” “The Ugly Duckling” and

Red’s grandmother won’t let her into the kitchen to have some
red velvet cake, and she doesn’t know why. In order to find the
answer, the Super Readers jump into the book “The Three Billy
Goats Gruff.” After watching a troll stop all three goats from
crossing his bridge, the answer emerges. The Super Readers also
jump into the story “The Tortoise and the Hare!” In this episode
the Super Readers spell the words G-O and B-E-L-L and learn that
participating in a contest isn’t always about winning, it’s also
important to enjoy the game.

Readers wonder if anyone can make those rude goats behave, and
Red figures out what she needs to tell Grandma.

makes perfect.
