It’s been a while since we’ve fed you a few morsels of kids-TV-oriented news all at once. Enjoy!

You know how every once in a while, someone writes something that’s so complete, you think, “Yeah. I can’t really add to that.” Well, this Babble review describing and raving about the new PBS show, Martha Speaks, is kind of like that. All I can say is, “Um, ditto.”
Word on the street (or well, Press Release Ave) is that Nickelodeon is collaborating with CreateSpace, part of the Amazon Empire, to make a bunch of Nickelodeon shows available on DVD, some for the first time evuh. The selections we’re most psyched to see: Drake and Josh, Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide, Rocko’s Modern Life, and Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius. And what’s cool about CreateSpace is that DVDs aren’t manufactured until they’re actually ordered. So you know, they’re not sitting on a big warehouse shelf somewhere, taking up (you guessed it) space. Click on www.amazon.com/nickelodeon for more info.
And finally, Manchester Art Gallery has launched a major exhibition of the works of utterly brilliant illustrator Lauren Child. She’s been churning out best-selling kids’ books for nearly ten years…including the fantastically successful and charming Charlie and Lola. (Yes, that Charlie and Lola. From that Playhouse Disney.) So if you’re heading to the U.K. between now and Sept. 21 (and who knows, maybe you are) make sure you check out the kid-friendly, touching-encouraged, sure-to-be-whimsical “Green Drops and Moonsquirters” exhibit. –Posted by Stephanie Booth.
