Whyatt, the lead character from PBS’ “Super WHY!” will make a weekend-long special appearance at the Children’s Museum of Houston! “Super WHY!” is the first educational, superhero TV series to help children learn to read through engaging story adventures.

In the show, you follow 6-year-old, Whyatt Beanstalk, younger brother of Jack, from “Jack and the Beanstalk,” and his charming fairytale character friends—Red of “Little Red Riding Hood” fame, Littlest Pig from “The Three Little Pigs,” and Princess Pea of the beloved “The Princess and the Pea,” as they convert into their alter egos and use their superpowers to literally jump into books to discover answers to everyday questions and challenges.

Kids can come hang out with Whyatt! during this special character appearance, plus enjoy Super WHY!-inspired activities! Don't forget your cameras!
