CBS Storybreak is a Saturday morning anthology television series that originally aired on the CBS network during the 1985 season. Hosted by Captain Kangaroo's Bob Keeshan (and in its 1993 return by The Cosby Show's Malcolm Jamal-Warner), the episodes are half-hour animated adaptations of some of the most beloved children's books published at the time of airing, including How to Eat Fried Worms.
The episodes were produced by Australia's Southern Star Entertainment and America's Hanna-Barbera Productions for CBS Entertainment.
One of its crew, Sander Schwartz [], would go on to become the president of Warner Bros. Animation in 2001.
Select episodes were released on home video in 1992 under the title Video Storybreak.
CBS' first in-house cartoon series since their original Terrytoons, it was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Animated Program in the 1985-1986 season. It continued in reruns until 1999.
