Open Wide
BLOGS / Planet PreschoolBeing an indie is not unlike having a dentist appointment every day of your life. There are the niceties that must be exchanged when you arrive at the office. There are the various bills that must be paid. And, you can be certain that, before the day is over, there will be pain.
To Thine Own Show Be True
BLOGS / Planet PreschoolIn addition to being a printer, an inventor, a Francophile and one of the authors of the US constitution, Benjamin Franklin was also really good at coming up with aphorisms.

The Hangover
BLOGS / Planet PreschoolIs it still possible to make a great preschool show that can also turn a profit on licensed products? I believe so. And this is why I decided to spend a few days in that steamy pinball machine of a city, Las Vegas, rolling the dice at the licensing tables of the Mandalay Bay.
Vegas, Baby
BLOGS / Planet PreschoolSending me to Las Vegas is not a good idea. I can only imagine what the Chex Mix of neon, slot machines, and Licensing Show will do to me. My staff has already pinned a note inside my tan blazer that reads, ‘If found, please return to Little Airplane.’
Buffy vs. Technology
BLOGS / Planet PreschoolEvery time the phone in our apartment rings, Buffy freaks out. Buffy is our one-year-old Mini-Australian Shepherd and, for reasons that we cannot quite figure out, she doesn’t like the telephone.
