Witty Bit World
Witty Bit World Inc., 2005
By Jennifer Hudson (BS ’92) and Deborah Morefield
By three, many children can recite Dora the Explorer’s life story and recognize McDonald’s golden arches logo. Yet alphabets and numbers are a different tale. Realizing the disparity and an opportunity to solve it through brand recognition, Hudson—a mother and pediatrician—developed the Witty Bit World educational entertainment series. Each set tells the individual stories of six alphabet characters using words that include the letters. The books also come with a CD featuring songs about the characters.

Now she is a mother herself, and her mama is getting the last laugh in this compilation of the Southern humorist’s syndicated columns on family life.
