Plot[edit]
The title character introduces himself as "Whyatt," and welcomes the viewers to "Storybrook Village", a place where all fairy-tale characters reside. Then Whyatt hears a ringtonefrom his handheld "Super Duper Computer". He answers the call and discovers that he or one of the other characters has a "super big problem". After investigating the nature of the problem, Whyatt summons the "Super Readers", sending out the call: "Calling all Super Readers! To the Book Club!" The four characters, Whyatt, Pig, Red Riding Hood, and Princess Pea, then appear in front of the aforementioned Book Club, which is a building made of books. Whyatt then invites the viewer to say their name, including them among the Super Readers.
Once the characters are assembled, Whyatt's Book Club Mainframe, the main computer, is activated. He plugs in his Super Duper Computer and uploads data about the problem. Meanwhile, the character with the problem stands behind a small lectern made of dominoes and explains the situation.
Once the problem is discussed, Whyatt states: "When we have a question, we look... in a book!" Pig wonders: "Which book should we look in?" and in response, Princess Pea casts a magic spell to summon the appropriate book:
“
Peas and Carrots, Carrots and Peas.Book come out, please, please, please!
”
The book then descends from the shelves, and Whyatt, inviting the audience to read along, summarizes the problem faced by the book's characters, drawing a parallel to the problem the Super Readers are trying to solve.
The goal of the Super Readers is to follow the storyline to solve the problem. As they progress through the events of the story, they encounter obstacles, which can be solved by applying their literacy skills to change the story (for instance, changing the prince in "The Frog Prince" back into a frog because the princess liked him more that way). As they overcome these obstacles, they are rewarded with red glittery "Super Letters". These Super Letters are then uploaded into the Super Duper Computer, eventually forming the word(s) that make up the solution to the "super big problem." The viewer is encouraged to look for Super Letters throughout the story, and to identify them when they appear.
At the conclusion of the Super Story Adventure, all of the Super Letters collected throughout the episode are plugged into the Book Club mainframe after the Super Readers resume their actual identities. The Super Letters are spelled out to show the "Super Story Answer."
"But why?" asks Whyatt. Then one of the Super Readers gives the reason why that particular word or phrase serves as the solution to the Super Big Problem. Once the solution is reached, it is used to wrap up the original problem. However, that was not used in "'Twas The Night Before Christmas" as Whyatt asked the question about why Santa gives out presents on Christmas Eve. With that resolution, Whyatt shouts out, "Hip hip hooray! The Super Readers saved the day!"
Characters[edit]
The Super Readers[edit]
Whyatt Beanstalk - The leader of the group of characters who become the "Super Readers", Whyatt is a 9-year-old[citation needed] olive-skinned, blue eyed, brown-haired boy who wears a dark bluepolo shirt with green stripes and khaki pants. He turns 10 years old in the episode "12 Dancing Princesses". In the episode "Jack and the Beanstalk", it is revealed that Whyatt's older brother is Jack, the hero of the English folk tale Jack and the Beanstalk. Whyatt lives with his mother, who writes stories, and his father who illustrates them, along with baby sister Joy but not his brother. Jack appears in some episodes but generally is "away at college." When Whyatt introduces himself at the Book Club, he says, "Whyatt here!" His superhero form is Super Why. In this form, he has a green mask, turbo sneakers, a blue cape, and a Why Writer. His symbol is a question mark.
