Preschoolers who love to watch the kids' tv show Super Why! on PBS KIDS® want to dress up like their favorite characters from the show and to wear clothes and accessories covered with pictures of Super Why, Princess Presto, Wonder Red, and Alpha Pig. Parents wondering, "Where can I find Super Why! clothes and accessories?" will be relieved to discover that an entire apparel line based on this educational children's show will be available in time for back-to-school shopping in fall 2009.

Super Why! Costumes

Disguise, Inc. already manufactures four officially licensed child costumes in toddler and small child sizes, one for each of the Super Readers, or alter-egos of Whyatt Beanstalk, Princess Pea, Red Riding Hood, and Pig.
