The Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock licensed book programme will launch simultaneously with season two of the series, which is set to premiere exclusively on AppleTV+ this month.
Paw Prints Publishing, the children’s publishing imprint of Baker & Taylor, will begin publishing books based on the Jim Henson Company’s beloved Emmy-Winning series Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock this spring. The publishing programme launch will be timed with the release of the series’ second season, premiering 29th March exclusively on AppleTV+.
A reboot of the 1983 Fraggle Rock by Jim Henson, Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock features music, comedy and iconic puppets from the world-famous Jim Henson’s Creature Shop.
Paw Prints Publishing brings original content to market for young readers aged 3-8 with the mission of sharing stories that will inspire and enlighten children.
Amandeep Kochar, group president and CEO of Baker & Taylor, said: “Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock is a perfect fit with Paw Prints’ mission to publish books that build empathy, empowerment and engagement anchored by social emotional pillars with diverse and authentic voices.”
Melissa Segal, head of global consumer products for The Jim Henson Company, commented: “Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock is continuing a legacy of exciting and hilarious adventures, engaging characters and thoughtful messages about kindness and caring for each other and the planet we all share. Our fans of all ages will love seeing this magical world brought to life in this new incredible line of books from our partners at Paw Prints Publishing.”
Paw Prints will launch with two titles on 7th May, both authored by Courtney Carbone:
- An 8 x 8 storybook entitled Gobo’s Adventure, based on the season one Back to the Rock pilot
- Flight of the Flutterflies, a Level 2 Reader under the Paw Prints Readers imprint, based on the season one episode of the same name
In addition to these two launch titles, Paw Prints Publishing plans to continue expanding the Fraggle portfolio, with additional episodic levelled readers, novelty books and holiday-themed storybooks in 2026 and 2027.
