What are Notebook Babies? Notebook Babies are funny little characters that are designed to help kids learn but, like kids, are sometimes silly. Yet, in the end, they will usually do the right thing.
About their
creator: Anthony
J. Dusko was born in Pennsylvania in 1971. As the son of a commercial
artist he was exposed to art at an early age and enjoyed drawing and using up
his father’s art supplies. He then went on to study art in college, but also
earned a degree in Biology and a certification in Elementary Education. After
five years as a microbiologist, Dusko became bored and decided to teach
elementary school. It was during his third year of teaching that he discovered
how his artistic background could help motivate his fifth graders to stop
talking. One day he created a simple animation of a grilled cheese sandwich
telling his students to get ready for lunch. To his surprise, the fifth graders
loved it, quickly got ready for lunch, and begged him to make more animations.
So to improve his skills, Dusko began studying animation with Academy Award
nominated, Paul Fierlinger, who has independently produced over 700 animated
films and has extensive experience in educational filmmaking. Dusko has since
created short films for many school topics and continues to use them to liven up his every day teaching.
