Our classic children’s stories are brought to life by the world’s most respected narrators, musicians, and illustrators. Narrated by Hollywood’s top celebrities, scored by renowned musicians, and illustrated by well-known artists, our programs have earned a reputation for achieving the highest degree of artistic quality. The resulting books, videos, and audio products have earned many prestigious awards from design, educational, and entertainment organizations.

Believing that quality entertainment can inspire children with an appreciation for literature, art and music, Mark Sottnick and Doris Wilhousky established Rabbit Ears from their kitchen table in 1985. Based on the belief that quality sells and that adults want the very best for their children—and are looking for books and videos that they can enjoy sharing with their children—Rabbit Ears stories endeavor to enhance development and to encourage creative thinking skills.

The high-quality profile of Rabbit Ears’ products is evidenced by a list of 60+ titles and relationships with major Hollywood personalities including Meg Ryan, Mel Gibson, Meryl Streep, B. B. King, Whoopi Goldberg, George Winston, Jack Nicholson, Garrison Keillor, and many others. Likewise, relationships built with companies such as Random House, Simon & Schuster, and Macmillan/McGraw-Hill further enhance Rabbit Ears’ prestigious reputation. In January of 1997, through a cooperative effort, CBS aired Rabbit Ears’ first live action movie-of-the-week, a special called "Keeping the Promise."

In the 1990's Rabbit Ears Radio was distributed nationwide by PRI (Public Radio International), one of the two main public radio networks in the United States, winning the National Education Association Advancement of Learning Through Broadcast Award in 1995. The success of Rabbit Ears has been resoundingly affirmed by the countless prizes awarded to our stories in the children’s video, audio, and book categories, including:

2 Grammy Awards
18 Grammy Award nominations
21 Parents' Choice Awards
A Parents' Choice Award for the Entire Storybook Classics series
7 Action for Children's Television awards
A National Education Association Award
The Humanitas Prize
