What is Wallykazam! About?

This fun show takes place in a colorful fairytale world. It helps kids learn about words and reading. The main character is a young troll named Wally Trollman. He has a special magic stick that can make words come to life as real objects or events! Wally often goes on adventures with his pet dragon, Norville, and their friends. Sometimes, they run into trouble, usually because of a mischievous goblin named Bobgoblin.
