Encore programming from PEG CAT, DANIEL TIGER'S NEIGHBORHOOD and many others will also air and stream on PBS KIDS all month long.

Halloween is an exciting holiday for our audience, so we are celebrating this year with new programming from several of our popular series - including THE CAT IN THE HAT KNOWS A LOT ABOUT THAT!, said Lesli Rotenberg, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Children's Media and Education, PBS. PBS KIDS is dedicated to finding learning opportunities in the topics that kids are passionate about, and Halloween is no exception. During this festive season, when the school year is still just beginning for many students, PBS is proud to offer a wide array of content for kids, parents and teachers to keep the fun, exploration and learning going all October long.
This fall, PBS will also offer PreK-12 teachers an easy way to integrate Halloween themes into their instruction with a range of curriculum-aligned videos, lesson plans and games. Teachers can use these resources to enhance homework assignments or kick-start classroom discussions. These free resources are available to teachers nationwide on pbslearningmedia.org. Examples include PEG CAT's Tiger Trick or Treat, PBS LearningMedia's All About the Holidays: Halloween, PBS Digital Studios' Frankenstein, M.D. and more.
More information on PBS KIDS' Halloween programming, including when to watch, is included below. A variety of Halloween DVDs are also available from PBS Distribution.
