Little Airplane Productions’ animated musical series, Small Potatoes, is the focus of an original album on iTunes and a book series from Penguin Young Readers Group.

Pre-sale for the iTunes Small Potatoes album begins today, with the US$7.99 album officially launching on September 13. It will also be available at iTunes stores in the UK/EU, Canada, Japan and Mexico. The iTunes launch coincides with the singing spuds’ debut today on Disney Channel US’s Disney Junior programming block.

Meanwhile, Penguin Young Readers Group, through its Grosset & Dunlap imprint, will begin rolling out a series of 10 Small Potatoes book titles in early 2013 in the US.

The short-form TV series premiered in the UK on CBeebies this past spring. The series has also launched on Canal+ and Piwi in France as well as on ABC in Australia. The latter is set to release a Small Potatoes DVD and CD in October.
