Studio 100 Media Names Macmillan Children’s Books Master Publisher for ‘Vegesaurs’

Studio 100 Media and Macmillan Children’s Books (U.K.) have joined forces with the new preschool series, “Vegesaurs.” The publishing house has acquired international rights (excluding Australia and New Zealand) in all languages for an extensive global publishing program, which will include a range of formats. The first publishing program is set to launch in the spring with two picture books, followed by two story board books next summer, with more to follow. 

The agreement follows a recent broadcast deal with the BBC, which sees the launch of the CGI, comedy-adventure series on CBeebies and BBC iPlayer later this year in the U.K. The series is produced by independent Australian producer, Cheeky Little Media, in association with the Australian Broadcasting Company (ABC), France TV and Studio 100. 

“We are delighted to be working with Studio 100 Media on ‘Vegesaurs’ – the show is a fun and comedic twist on the beloved preschool topic of dinosaurs which will captivate young children with its engaging roster of characters and stories,” says Nicole Pearson, publishing director, brands and media, Macmillan Children’s Books. “We can’t wait to extend the adventures of Ginger the Tricarrotops and her friends into books.” 

“We are extremely happy to collaborate with Macmillan Children’s Books,” says Martin Krieger, chief executive officer, Studio 100 Media. “As publishing partners, they are a perfect fit for this new brand. Macmillan shares a core ambition with Studio 100 Media to engage children with humorous stories and to offer support to families through soft learning and our publishing will reflect this. We look forward to developing our partnership in the coming years.”
