Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Dan Yaccarino created the characters in his 1996 picture book 'An Octopus Followed Me Home,' then spent five years pitching Nickelodeon.
This was Nick Jr.'s deliberate pivot from Blue's Clues' interactive format to slower 'literary' animation — preschool prestige TV before it was a thing.
