Signature Publishing has released ADVENTURES WITH Chuggington magazine, the latest issue in its ADVENTURES WITH series aimed at pre-schoolers.
The magazine has been produced in tandem with Herschend Entertainment Studios, the licence-holder for the popular train-based animated show.
Its launch has been timed to coincide with a new series, Chuggington: Tails from the Rails, which is airing on BBC's CBeebies channel and iPlayer, as well as the launch of an extensive new toy range with Alpha Group.
The magazine will follow the adventures of three young trainees – Wilson, Koko and Brewster – as they learn about teamwork, friendship, diversity, kindness and fun.
It's packed with stories, colouring, puzzles and games designed to help develop children's key early learning skills. There are also competitions and a five-piece train playset that ties in with the magazine content.
The popularity of the show is reflected in the fact that the official YouTube Chuggington channel has over a million subscribers.
Amanda Clifford, Signature Publishing’s Editorial Director, said: “We've worked with Chuggington over a number of years and are so excited to be publishing ADVENTURES WITH Chuggington.”
“The characters are fun, the story-telling engaging, the design bright and colourful, and Chuggington’s theme for 2021 – Training Together – is such an uplifting and positive message to share. We’re sure the magazine is going to be a massive hit with children and families.”
ADVENTURES WITH is a pre-school magazine series that changes theme monthly. Available to buy at supermarkets and newsagents, ADVENTURES WITH Chuggington is on sale from August 19 priced at £4.99.
This latest launch aims to address the shifting behaviours of the next generation of home interest consumers.
