Bluey Book Reads also features stories read by Bindi Irwin, Tom Daley, Romesh Ranganathan, Suranne Jones, Jenna Fischer, Eva Mendes, Jordan Fisher, Camille Cottin and Rob Delaney
BBC Studios Social together with BBC Studios Kids & Family and Ludo Studio are excited to announce that Bluey Book Reads launches today at 9am GMT on the official Bluey YouTube channel and brings to life many of the beloved Bluey storybooks like never before with a celebrity-stacked calendar of reads.
Famous sisters and Australian pop royalty Kylie and Dannii Minogue kick off the brand-new digital original 10 x 5 series with a dual read of 'Mini Bluey'. Kylie reads as Bluey and Dannii as Bingo in this heart-warming tale of self-discovery and sisterly love that sees Bluey hatch a plan to make her and Bingo more alike after their dad Bandit winges that Bluey and Bingo are too different.
“Bluey is an Aussie icon so when I was asked if I’d like to read Mini Bluey with my sister, it was an easy YES! This episode, 'Mini Bluey' was perfect for us for obvious reasons: big sister and little sister! It reminded me so much of being kids growing up in Australia. It’s a funny, sweet and heart-warming tale of being yourself and encouraging others to do the same. I hope people have as much fun watching as Dannii and I had making this beautiful episode of Bluey Book Reads.” – Kylie Minogue
“There is life before Bluey, and life after! Once you know Bluey….you are hooked! The stories jump from the page and tickle me in the belly – it’s laugh out loud. It is fun for so many ages, as we can all relate to different members of Bluey's family. The Mini Bluey story was a joy to read with my sister, Kylie. A perfect tale of sisters finding out that although they are different, they are perfect just as they are. We hope it brings you a smile right to the last page.” – Dannii Minogue
