Sounder & Friends™ follows the adventures of a mischievous raccoon who uses magic to switch sounds. By switching the sounds in a word, the raccoon changes the object and creates chaos! Sounder, a lovable dog, and her human friends go searching for the original sounds to restore order and save the day! Colorful and entertaining for young children, Sounder & Friends™ is particularly unique in that it promotes the little-known skill of phonemic awareness—a skill critical for proficient reading.
