Written by Paulette Bourgeois and illustrated by Alex G. Griffiths, Professor Goose Debunks Fairy Tales is a picture book that combines fairy tale with science, as the protagonist debunks popular tales such as Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

“As Wildling continues to grow, Professor Goose marks the initial step as we expand into television with such an exciting property,” said Code.

The Toronto company has been behind indie pics such as Mary Goes Round and Bowie biopic Stardust, while also providing production services for the likes of Netflix’s Wedding Season.

Geddie is repped by the Jennifer Hollyer Agency, Bourgeois is repped by Transatlantic Agency and Griffith is repped by The Bright Agency.
