Sinking Ship Entertainment Picks Ruckus Media Group for DINO DAN Storybook Apps Feb 9, 2012 09:35AM

Interactive children’s stories combine reading with science and kids’ love of dinosaurs

NEW YORK & WILTON, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Ruckus Media Group, the global children’s digital media company, and Sinking Ship Entertainment, an award-winning production and new media company specializing in live-action programming, today announced a digital partnership under which Ruckus has been granted worldwide English language rights to develop interactive DINO DAN e-books, enhanced e-books, interactive storybooks and story-based applications. The television series DINO DAN – seen in over 100 countries around the world – teaches kids about dinosaurs and how to use scientific methods to identify and solve problems in their everyday lives. The new Ruckus digital storybooks, designed for children ages 4-8, will expand kids’ knowledge of dinosaurs and develop their scientific thinking and problem-solving skills as they build their literacy skills. The first three storybooks will be available for mobile devices in April 2012.

DINO DAN airs daily in the U.S. on Nick Jr. and was the most watched debut on the network with over 753,000 kid viewers. In addition, DINO DAN was the #1 episode download for Amazon.com for kids/family programming and has over 3 million YouTube.com viewers.

DINO DAN combines live action with CGI dinosaurs and follows the adventures of dinosaur authority and enthusiast Dan Henderson and his friends as they uncover clues about the secrets of dinosaurs. Sinking Ship Entertainment works closely with the Royal Tyrrell Museum, an internationally recognized public and scientific museum dedicated to the collection, preservation, presentation, and interpretation of paleontological history, to ensure all information in the DINO DAN storylines is authentic.

“We welcome DINO DAN into the Ruckus family of mobile educational entertainment, and look forward to creating digital stories and unique experiences that capture the excitement and wonder of the extremely popular Nick Jr. show and kids’ never-ending interest in dinosaurs,” says Rick Richter, CEO, Ruckus Media Group.

“We’re excited to be working with Ruckus Media to bring DINO DAN fans a new digital experience with this line of e-books and apps,” says J.J. Johnson, creator of DINO DAN and a partner at Sinking Ship Entertainment. “These interactive storybooks build on the success of our other digital assets, and help bring the show to life in a fun and educational way.”
