PMI Kids’ World is writing a new chapter in its legacy.
Following a successful showing to trade partners over the past year, the company formally introduces Booksy, a patented and trademarked collectible toy line aimed at getting kids excited to read, play, and collect. Booksy features tiny books housed inside collectible figures — each thoughtfully designed to nurture literacy in a fun, new way.
The line launches this fall with PMI’s original IP, Monster Tales, and licensed versions featuring PAW Patrol and Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
As a parent and lifelong reader, I understand the importance of encouraging children to discover a love for reading and play that truly ignites their imaginations. Booksy is particularly special to me because it's an IP we've developed in-house and patented, blending the excitement of toys with the educational value of relatable life lessons and adventures in collectible books. I'm incredibly excited to see how Booksy will inspire and nurture the next generation.”
PMI’s Monster Tales is the cornerstone of the brand with an full range of original characters, stories, and a special bookcase for young readers to place and display their growing mini book collections. PMI collaborated with family entertainment veteran Christian Tremblay to develop this story-focused line.
