Uh-oh!

Looks like pig needs our help.

Let's go!

[ ♪♪ ]

Come on!

[ ♪♪ ]

Hey, pig!

What's wrong?

I want to go on an adventure by myself.

An adventure?

Cool, sounds fun!

No, it's not fun

Because I can't go by myself.

My brothers say I'm too young and little.

Sorry, pig.

You're too young.

And too little to go on an adventure by yourself.

You get to go on adventures all the time!

All by yourselves.

That's because we're older

And bigger than you.

It's not fair!

I really, really want to go on an adventure by myself!

Huh!

This sounds like a super big problem.

And a super big problem needs us,

The super readers!

We need to call the rest of the super readers.

Call them with me! [ Cellphone ♪♪ ]

[ Electronic beeps ]

Okay, pig, state your problem.

I want to go on an adventure.

But my brothers say I can't go by myself

Because I'm too young.

Various: oh no! Oh my!

What should I do if I'm too young

To go on an adventure by myself?

Good question!

When we have a question, we look...

All: in a book!

Which book should we look in?

Peas and carrots, carrots and peas...

Book come out, please, please, please!

Let's read the title of this book.

Let's read!

Why writer... Highlight!

Read with me!

Hello, I'm tiny tom thumb.

I want to go on my own adventure!

Sigh.

[ Gasp ] tom thumb wanted to go

On an adventure by himself,

But he's not allowed,

Just like me!

And that, super readers,

Is why we are in this book.

Both tom thumb and pig

Cannot go on adventures by themselves.

Let's go talk to tom thumb.

Tom thumb?

We're the super readers

And we want to talk to you.

Sorry, can't talk!

Where are you going?

On an adventure...

By myself!

I'm going to the forest, ta-ta!

[ Laughing ]

To the forest!

[ ♪♪ ]

Super readers,

I bet I can have a fun adventure

All by myself

Inside this cave.

It's an apple.

An apple cave? Even better!

Uh-oh! It...

It's a giant! Wonder red: [ laughing ]

Ah!

[ Screaming ]

Ah! It's too dark!

And I'm afraid of the dark.

But... But I'm also afraid of that ant!

Oh no!

What can I do?

[ ♪♪ ]

Alpha pig to the rescue!

With my amazing alphabet tools,

I can make a light

So tom can see inside the dark apple!

Okay, I need super you

To help me sing the alphabet

And I'll build the letters.

Ready?

A, b, c, sing with me!

[ Singing ]

♪ Sing with me ♪

Amazing alphabet singing!

Now we need to find

All of the letters in the word "light".

Super readers, which one is the letter "l"?

Children: that one!

Alpha pig: greetings, "l"!

And now we need the "i".

Where's the letter "i"?

Children: over there!

Alpha pig: "i"!

Now the "g".

Where's the "g"? Hmm.

Children: there!

Alpha pig: good!

Now the "h".

Which one is the letter "h"?

Children: that one!

Alpha pig: hi-ya "h"!

We need one more letter.

Do you see the letter "t"?

Children: there it is!

Alpha pig: terrific, "t"!

Lickety letters!

We found the letters in the word "light"

And made light!

Let's give ourselves a big thumbs up!

Thanks for the light, alpha pig!

Now I'm not afraid to go inside the apple.

Ahh! [ Clicking ]

And I'll, uh...

Be going inside the apple now!

Oh no! Oh no!

[ Yelling ]

[ Panting ]

Phew, I made it through the apple!

That was kind of scary, even with the light.

[ Sigh ]

I wish my mom and dad were here with me,

They always hug me when I'm scared.

[ Screaming ]

You see super letters?

Which letters did you find?

Children: "m"! "L"!

Oh, yeah! An "m" and an "l".

Good work, super readers!

We need to put them in...

Our super duper...

Computer!

Four more super letters

And then we'll get our super story answer!

Tom thumb: oh, look!

Maybe there's a fun adventure inside this barn.

To the barn!

[ ♪♪ ]

Ooh!

A pool!

[ Giggle ] that's a bowl of milk!

Even better!

Swimming in a bowl of milk

Will make for a fun adventure by myself.

Swim, swim, swim.

Whoo-hoo!

Whee-ee!

Wee-hee-hee!

Whoa, phew!

Time to get out!

Whoops!

Oh no.

I can't get out of the bowl!

What can I do to get out?

[ ♪♪ ]

Cue the sparkles!

Cue the music!

Princess presto to the rescue!

With my magic spelling wand,

I can spell the word "spoon"

And help tom get out of his bowl.

Wands up!

Spell with me!

Now what letter makes the sound s-s-s?

Children: "s"!

"S"!

Let's write an "s".

Like a snake.

"S"!

Now, what letter makes the sound puh-puh-puh?

Children: "p"!

[ Giggle ] "p"!

Let's write a "p".

"P"!

We need two "o"s to make the "ooh" sound.

Let's write two "o"s.

A big circle...

And again.

And finally, what letter makes the "n-n-n" sound?

Children: "n"!

"N"! [ Laughing ]

Write an "n" with me!

Presto!

Spectacular spelling!

We spelled the word "spoon"

And made a spoon!

Let's take a bow.

I'll save you!

Whoo-hoo! Whee!

Now, this is fun!

Thank you, princess presto!

Presto! [ Giggle ]

You see more super letters?

Which letters did you find?

Children: "f"! I!

"F" and "i".

Yeah!

Now we need to put them in...

Our super duper...

Computer!

Two more super letters and then we'll get...

Our super story answer!

Awesome progress, super readers!

Thanks, super readers.

It was hard to climb out of the bowl by myself!

[ Giggling ] you're quite welcome.

Whee! Oops.

Tom thumb: whee!

Oh my.

Over here!

I'm so sorry, tom thumb.

It's okay.

But I'm stuck!

I'm too small to get out!

I'm too small for everything.

It even says so in my story, see?

I wish my mom and dad were here.

What will I do to get out?

Super why to the rescue!

With the power to read,

I can change this story and save the day!

Let's change the word "small" in this sentence

So we can get tom thumb out of the haystacks.

Let's zap it.

Ready, set...

Z-zap!

Why writer, write!

Which word will help tom out of the haystack?

Let's try "quiet".

Which word is "quiet"?

Hmm, it starts with a "q".

Children: that one!

Let's zap it into our sentence.

Ready, set... Z-zap!

Now let's read.

Tom thumb: [ whispering ] super readers?

Are you going to help?

How am I going to get out of here?

We can barely hear tom thumb.

He's so quiet.

Hmm, being quiet is not going to help, is it?

What other word will help tom thumb

Come out of the haystack?

How about the word "tall"?

Which is the word "tall"?

Hmm, it has two "l"s in it.

Children: there!

Let's add "tall" to the sentence!

Ready, set... Z-zap!

Let's read it.

Wow, I'm so tall!

Did making him tall

Help him out of the haystack?

[ Loud stomping ]

Children: yes!

Super job, super readers.

We changed the story and made tom thumb tall!

I can't believe how tall I am!

I got out of the haystacks.

Oh boy! Oh boy!

I can't wait to show mom and dad how tall I am!

Mom! Dad!

[ Struggling ]

Uh-oh!

I'm too tall to go inside to see my mom and dad.

Super readers, I don't want to be tall anymore.

I just want to go inside and see my mom and dad.

I have a word that will help.

[ Laughing ]

Let's replace "tall" with "small"!

I'm small again!

And you know what?

I'm happy, because now

I can go home and see my family.

That's better than an adventure by myself any day.

[ Laugh ]

Thank you!

You're welcome.

Super readers: goodbye, tom thumb!

Ta-ta, super readers!

Hi, mom and dad, it's me!

I'm home!

[ Kissing ]

You see super letters?

Which ones?

Children: "a"! "Y"!

"A" and "y"?

Okay, let's put them in...

Our super duper...

Thought he could go on an adventure by himself,

But he wanted his mom and dad,

So, my question is,

What should I do if I'm too young

To go on an adventure

By myself?

And the answer is...

All: family!

Go with your family.

Hmm...

If I can't go on an adventure by myself,

Then I should go with my brothers,

My family!

Come on!

Okay, pigs,

I've thought about it and I have an idea.

Since I'm too young to go on an adventure by myself,
