Random House Expands Nickelodeon Preschool Publishing Program For The Little Ones
Nickelodeon has been successfully expanding its preschool programming over the past few years with a raft of new shows, and the network’s master publisher, Random House, is along for the ride.
“All of Nickelodeon’s new preschool properties have done really well, and it’s not just Paw Patrol. Blaze and the Monster Machines and Shimmer & Shine have done great too,” Chris Angelilli, RH’s Vice President (VP), Editor-in-Chief, and Executive Director, licensed publishing, reported to Publishers Weekly. “Nickelodeon does an incredible amount of research on the target audience and has an amazing understanding of what preschoolers and their parents are looking for, as the success of its preschool properties shows.”
Among the recent Nick Jr. properties on Random House’s list is Rusty Rivets, which premiered on the network in November 2016. Produced by Spin Master (also the originator of Paw Patrol), the show, which integrates a STEM curriculum, is about a 10-year-old boy who solves problems by building mechanical inventions—including a robotic dinosaur—from spare parts. Random House followed with a full complement of preschool formats in July of this year.
Meanwhile, the publisher began releasing titles for Nella the Princess Knight in spring 2017, following the debut of the TV series in February. "It’s about a girl who is as comfortable wearing a crown and tiara as she is with a sword and shield," Angelilli said. “And her best friend’s a unicorn. It doesn’t get any better than that.” Themes include girl empowerment, friendship, and conflict resolution.
Newer programs include Sunny Day, which premiered on Nick Jr. in August, with entrepreneurship, problem-solving, and self-expression at its core. “Sunny Day is a 10-year-old who owns her own salon and uses creativity and sometimes hair products to solve problems,” Angelilli said. Publishing will launch in January 2018. And Top Wing, produced with Industrial Brothers and 9 Story Media Group, launched last month online. “It’s about a rescue squad of birds that uses teamwork and amazing vehicles to save the day.” The first books release next summer.
Most of the publishing programs are similar in terms of formats, with readers, 8x8s, sticker-activity books, and the like being the focus. “We have core formats that work really well in the preschool space,” Angellili said. “We stick to the tried and true. But when there are specific themes we try to find a format that fits.” He cited a jacketed picture book by Nella creator Christine Ricci as an example. “It’s a real storybook property, so it was natural to launch with something like that.” Similarly, Rusty Rivets has a building-themed sticker-puzzle book among its titles.
Nickelodeon continues to expand its preschool slate. And, outside of the preschool realm, the network is debuting a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series, titled Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, next year. Random House will add to its extensive Turtles list with titles tied to the new show.
Imprint’s Preschool Pot of Gold
Macmillan Children’s Publishing Group’s Imprint division is developing its first licensed publishing program for preschoolers. (Imprint also has a Sesame Street title coming up, but it is a gift book for adults.) The company recently acquired the global master publishing rights from Genius Brands for a line of books tied to Rainbow Rangers, an animated series set to debut on Nick Jr. in the USA and Caribbean Basin. Imprint had previously teamed with Genius Brands on SpacePOP.
“A lot of publishers do a lot of great stuff for preschool, so we wanted to wait for the right thing,” said Erin Stein, Imprint’s publisher. “This was the one for us.”
The property, which Stein believes is likely to attract viewers in the 3–7 age range, features a team of seven girls with diverse ethnicities, each representing a color of the rainbow. “Who doesn’t love rainbows?” she asked, adding, “It has a good, layered story and attractive, colorful artwork, and the palette isn’t all pink and purple. The rainbow broadens that a little bit.”
The series also features themes of kindness and respect, concern for the environment, and especially friendship. “In each episode different combinations of characters navigate a challenge, but also their relationships with each other,” Stein explained.
The publishing program, which will debut in spring 2019 following the fall 2018 premiere of the TV show, will include traditional tie-in formats such as readers and 8x8s, as well as a picture book. “I’m excited to play up the rainbow aspect and the adorable look of the show through original artwork,” Stein said.
She hopes to cross-promote the books with other licensees of the property, as happened with SpacePOP. Manufacturers creating products for Rainbow Rangers to date include Mattel for toys; Bentex, Handcraft, Global Design Concepts, and H.E.R. for apparel and accessories; Jay Franco for bed and bath, and Taste Beauty for health and beauty products.

Nickelodeon Partners With NHL For Winter Classic Activation
For most NHL players, the Winter Classic is a reminder of how they learned to play hockey as kids. At this year’s edition of the tentpole event, Nickelodeon aims to elevate the experience for kids in attendance.
The network will have its own space at the Winter Classic KidZone in the NHL’s on-site activation area, The PreGame, which will include a life-sized game of air hockey. The activation space will also have table bubble air hockey games, a SpongeBob SquarePants-branded Zamboni, and a slime waterfall. It marks the first time Nickelodeon is working directly with the NHL.
The game is being held at Citi Field in New York on Monday 1st January 2018 between the New York Rangers and Buffalo Sabres.
Laura Lundgren, Nickelodeon Experience Senior Vice President of Marketing and Brand Strategy, told SportsBusiness Journal about how the network has put an increased emphasis this past year on activating at big sporting events.
“To be able to take things from off of our screens and show up right in the center of the Winter Classic really elevates the experience for all the kids in attendance,” Lundgren said, noting that they’ve also worked on activations at NASCAR events and the PGA Tour’s Players Championship. The Nickelodeon Experience team plans and operates its own activations.
Elements familiar to Nickelodeon viewers will find their way into the Winter Classic, such as a virtual slime feature that will run on the video board, and a mention of the popular Nickelodeon animated series The Loud House. Nickelodeon will capture content around the game to share on its channels, and will have access to the venue and players on practice days.
Casey Hall, NHL group vice president of marketing, said that while the partnership is only for the 2018 Winter Classic, the league and the network will look to work together on other efforts.
“Through our research we’ve seen that those ties and bonds for the next generation of fans comes at a very young age,” Hall said. “While participation is the biggest driver, media exposure and getting to where kids can connect with our brands and players is No. 2.”
Hall declined to comment on the financial terms of the deal. He said the league will continue to look for opportunities where its players can be part of Nickelodeon content, especially alongside the NickSports brand. In July, the Nashville Predators' P.K. Subban presented an award at the Kids’ Choice Sports Awards, and the Los Angeles Kings’ Dustin Brown guest-hosted Nickelodeon’s sports-themed viral clip show, Crashletes.
