From a media release:

KIDS’ CBC LAUNCHES NEW PRESCHOOL SERIES THE ADVENTURES OF NAPKIN MAN! STARRING YANNICK BISSON ON DECEMBER 30

  • New preschool series helps children to better understand their emotions
  • Starring Yannick Bisson of CBC’s hit series Murdoch Mysteries

Kids’ CBC presents a new preschool series about a different kind of superhero with THE ADVENTURES OF NAPKIN MAN! airing Monday to Friday at 9:30 a.m. (10 NT) beginning Dec. 30. Each episode takes children inside the classroom of fun-loving and compassionate preschool teacher Mr. Anthony, played by Yannick Bisson of CBC’s hit primetime series Murdoch Mysteries. Featuring a mix of live action and animation, children are taken on fun-filled adventures which help them to better understand and manage their feelings.

Using his special pen, Mr. Anthony draws Napkin Man, a superhero who leaps off the napkin and magically comes to life in an animated world. As the children look on, Napkin Man (voiced by Bisson) and his friends play out a story that sheds light on the emotional issue at hand. Through comedy and catchy original music, children learn to identify and label emotions, recognize the physiological symptoms associated with different emotions, develop fun and easy strategies to calm down and feel better, while discovering creative ways to solve problems that lead to negative emotions.

Also on Kids’ CBC this winter are the engaging multiplatform series, RUBY SKYE P.I. and TIME TREMORS. Beginning Dec. 21,, get on the case Saturday mornings at 9 a.m. (8 PST/9:30 NT) with cross-platform series RUBY SKYE P.I., following amateur detective Ruby Skye as she finds her way into the middle of the most baffling mysteries. Then tune in to TIME TREMORS at 9:56 a.m. (8:56 PST/10:26 NT) and follow the adventures of siblings Max and Medie as they travel through space to collect time treasures. Kids can play along with each episode by downloading the Time Tremors Infinity app, available for free from the App Store, Google Play or online at cbc.ca/kids/timetremors.
