PBS reorders Nelvana's pre-school block

Stateside public network PBS has greenlit a second season of Nelvana's pre-school block, Bookworm Bunch, for PBS Kids.

The block, which features book-based series, will return in a Saturday 08:00-10:00 slot from November 3. Included in the block will be new episodes of Timothy Goes to School, Marvin the Tap-Dancing Horse, Seven Little Monsters and George Shrinks, in that order in half-hour instalments.

Produced by the Corus-owned Canadian animation house, PBS Kids Bookworm Bunch was first launched September 2001, specifically based on popular kids' books.
