families find their reading rhythm
(NASDAQ: AMZN)—Amazon today announced its brand-new Amazon
Original Kids Series, Bookaboo, is set to premiere October 28 on
Prime Video in the US and UK. Already a full-fledged international
hit, the series for preschool-aged children celebrates the fun and
benefits of adults and children reading together. Bookaboo
inventively combines puppetry, live action and CGI animation, and
every episode features a different celebrity guest, who goes
“backstage” to share their favorite picture book with Bookaboo, the
adorable world-famous drummer puppy and star of the show who needs
to be read a book a day or he just can’t play. Among the series
special guests are Paula Abdul (American Idol), Rachelle Lefevre
(Twilight), Molly Parker (House of Cards), Hannah Simone (New
Girl), Emily Van Camp (Captain America: The Winter Soldier), Selma
Blair (Legally Blonde), Michael Sheen (The Queen), Guillermo Diaz
(Scandal), WWE Wrestler Adam Copeland, NASA Astronaut Commander
Chris Hadfield, and NFL player Antonio Brown of the Pittsburgh
Steelers. Bookaboo, the latest addition to Amazon’s award-winning
preschool programming slate, is created by Lucy Goodman, Founder of
Happy Films, and produced by Happy Films and Sinking Ship
Entertainment (Odd Squad, Annedroids).
Bookaboo will debut on October 28 exclusively for Prime members
via the Amazon Video app for TVs; connected devices, including Fire
TV, mobile devices; and online—Prime members can also download the
series to mobile devices for offline viewing.
“Bookaboo is an exciting show developed to promote literacy by
inspiring parents to read to and with their children and help
instill a lifelong love of reading,” said Tara Sorensen, Head of
Kids Programming at Amazon Studios. “Each episode incorporates
funny storytelling and great books, specifically chosen to capture
young viewers’ attention and imagination.”
“We’re thrilled to be working with Amazon Prime Video to bring
Bookaboo and its important message to families all across the
country,” said Goodman. “With only half as many parents reading to
their kids as there were a generation ago, the time to make a
difference is now. Every child should have the opportunity to share
great books with someone they love.”
The rocking series follows Bookaboo as he tours the globe with
his bandmates Paws and Growler, playing drums to packed stadiums of
adoring fans. There’s only one hitch – Bookaboo just can't play
without a story a day! The precocious pup finds creative ways to
avoid performing, leading to laugh-out-loud comedy sketches and
silly songs. To empower Bookaboo to return to the stage, a famous
face appears in each episode to share a favorite story. The picture
book that the celebrity guest brings in the special “bookabag” is
brought to vibrant life through animation and an interactive,
energetic reading that restores Bookaboo’s “bojo.”
The entire first season of Bookaboo will be available
for Prime members to stream and enjoy using the Amazon Video app
for TVs; connected devices, including Amazon Fire TV and mobile
devices, or online at Amazon.com/originals, at no additional
cost to their membership. Customers who are not already a Prime
