In 2011 Egmont will launch with Sticker Activity and Colouring Books, and our award winning 10 Minute Tales format, followed by a comprehensive publishing programme in 2012, including an Everything’s Rosie magazine.
Aimed at girls and boys aged 3-6, Everything’s Rosie launched on Cbeebies in May 2010. The HD CGI animated series is distinguished by its refreshing story telling, high production values and bold, vibrant colour palette. Rosie is an inspiring pre-school character, immediately identifiable by her iconic hair. She is a bright and positive-thinking role model for preschoolers and together with her six constant companions she promotes a sense of adventure and team spirit.
The series promotes ‘Fun and Fulfillment through Friendship’ and the engaging storylines have attracted a fast growing fan base. The stories stimulate the senses and fuel the imagination, helping preschoolers to develop their social skills and creative problem solving in an enjoyable and accessible way. Dave Ingham (Charlie & Lola, Little Princess, Koala Brothers, Fifi) headed up the writing team on Series I and Educational Consultant, Brian Neish (Fifi, Charlie & Lola, Roary) advised on script content. Chris Parker (Timmy Time, Waybuloo, Rastamouse, Roary) is Lead Writer on Series II. |

We were immediately drawn to this colourful, vibrant and educational show and we are very excited to be working with V&S Entertainment to bring this fantastic property to life on the page.”
Vickie Corner, Managing Director and Producer at V&S Entertainment says “Egmont is the perfect publishing partner for Rosie and we look forward to working closely with the Egmont team on their exciting range of books over the coming months.
