Cynopsis: Kids! 1/23/07 Good morning. It's Tuesday, January 23, 2007 and this is your first early morning Kids! briefing. NEW PRODUCTION & DEVELOPMENT Nick Jr. has picked up, Yo Gabba Gabba! (20x30'), a new original live-action series targeted to preschoolers. A magazine-style music series, Yo Gabba Gabba will focus on simple life lessons and universal experiences in a preschooler's life, all punctuated with music and dance. The show features host by DJ Lance Rock (Lance Robertson) and five toy/puppet characters that come to life; the series will include animated segments, real kids and special guests. Produced by The Magic Store and Wildbrain, Yo Gabba Gabba! is set to begin production this April, and scheduled to premiere on Nick Jr. fall 2007. Entertainment Rights Plc has acquired Where's Waldo?, which is known internationally as Where's Wally?, from series creator, Martin Handford. Under the deal ER will hold the worldwide audio visual, licensing and merchandising, publishing, live events and digital rights in perpetuity to the Where's Waldo? brand. ER plans to create new animated and live-action content, including multi-platform components, which it expects to launch worldwide in 2008/2009. Handford will continue creating and publishing the Where's Waldo?/Where's Wally? picture books, which are published by Candlewick in the US and by Walker Books in the UK. MORE KIDS STUFF Nelvana and Spin Master Ltd. have partnered to launch a new line of toys and games based on two the animated action-adventure series, DI-GATA Defenders and the upcoming new series Bakugan, which is currently in production and slated to bow later this year.

STONE SOUP At its annual midwinter meeting in Seattle this week The American Library Association (ALA) announced the top honors for 2007 in the kid/young adult publishing world, including the Caldecott, King, Newbery and Printz awards. These awards are greatly coveted by authors, illustrators and publishers alike, as winning one can greatly boost sales as well as generating great exposure for all involved. Additionally, many of these titles will no doubt be plucked for development into TV series and feature films. Medal winners and honorees are selected by judging committees of librarians and other kid's literature experts. A comprehensive list of all of the honors awarded this week can be found at http://www.ala.org/mw07winners . 2007 Youth Media Awards include:
