This just in—Serious Kids and Keyframe Studios have partnered to co-produce a mixed-media adaptation of the Cats React to Facts books. Aimed at seven to 12s, this 2D/CG-animated series features cat news anchors and their comedic takes on interesting science facts. 

The project is based on Izzi Howell’s same-name books for six- to eight-year-olds. Hachette Children’s Group has published three books in the series so far (Cats React to Science Facts, Cats React to Dinosaur Facts and Cats React to Outer Space Facts), and they’re currently available in 10 countries, including the US, Canada, the UK, China and the Netherlands. Blending laughs with facts is the key to the books’ success, says Hachette licensing manager Sarah Lennon Galavan. 

In addition to the animated series (for which a deck, a teaser and two scripts are ready to share with potential buyers and partners), Serious Kids and Keyframe are working on a digital strategy that will involve creating social media accounts for the cat anchors so they can share even more facts and reactions with their fan followers.
