For instance, in <em>Pride &amp; Prejudice<\/em>, readers count to ten with examples like one English village, four marriage proposals and nine ballgowns.<\/p>\n<p>Quotes from the original classics are often included next to the concepts. The <em>BabyLit<\/em> classic series extends to gift merchandise as well, with totes, buttons, dolls, puzzles and a memory matching game. The BabyLit series has more than 50 titles in print and over 2 million copies in sales. Translation rights have been sold in over 15 countries.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Little Leonardo<\/em> series, meanwhile, teaches STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) concepts to kids ages 4 to 8, focusing on how STEAM affects everyday life and introducing real-life examples of STEAM heroes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople are realizing that it\u2019s never too young to start putting things in front of toddlers that\u00a0are a little more meaningful, that have more levels,\u201d said Suzanne Gibbs Taylor, creator of the\u00a0<em>BabyLit<\/em> series and publisher\/chief creative officer at Gibbs Smith. \u201cAfter the success of our\u00a0books, the natural extension of the brand is to explore television opportunities. We are very\u00a0excited to see what can be developed for <em>BabyLit<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are pleased to be working with Gibbs Smith to bring the <em>BabyLit<\/em> and <em>Little Leonardo<\/em> series to a global audience via media platforms and licensed product opportunities. The sheer potential in all these areas for these properties is a wonderful asset for ThinkTank and its strategic relationship with Gibbs Smith,\u201d said ThinkTank\u2019s David Wollos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The ThinkTank Emporium has partnered with the publisher Gibbs Smith to develop its best-selling BabyLit and Little Leonardo kids&#8217; book series into an animated show, as well as pursue licensing opportunities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1049,"featured_media":17950,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[5207,5208,5209,5210],"class_list":["post-17949","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-babylit","tag-gibbs-smith","tag-little-leonardo","tag-the-thinktank-emporium","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>BabyLit &amp; Little Leonardo Books to Be Adapted for TV - TVKIDS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/babylit-little-leonardo-books-to-be-adapted-for-tv\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"BabyLit &amp; Little Leonardo Books to Be Adapted for TV - TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The ThinkTank Emporium has partnered with the publisher Gibbs Smith to develop its best-selling BabyLit and Little Leonardo kids&#039; book series into an animated show, as well as pursue licensing opportunities.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/babylit-little-leonardo-books-to-be-adapted-for-tv\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-01-24T14:56:39+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2020-01-24T15:51:21+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/07\/BabyLit-ThinkTank-Gibbs-Smith-120.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"473\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"272\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Alison Skilton\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Alison Skilton\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/babylit-little-leonardo-books-to-be-adapted-for-tv\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/babylit-little-leonardo-books-to-be-adapted-for-tv\/\",\"name\":\"BabyLit &amp; Little Leonardo Books to Be Adapted for TV - TVKIDS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2020-01-24T14:56:39+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2020-01-24T15:51:21+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/f590d4d1481b8cce2a066e89197c7550\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/babylit-little-leonardo-books-to-be-adapted-for-tv\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/babylit-little-leonardo-books-to-be-adapted-for-tv\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/babylit-little-leonardo-books-to-be-adapted-for-tv\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"BabyLit &amp; Little Leonardo Books to Be Adapted for TV\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\",\"name\":\"TVKIDS\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/f590d4d1481b8cce2a066e89197c7550\",\"name\":\"Alison Skilton\",\"description\":\"Alison Skilton is an associate editor of World Screen.
