Published: October 14, 2024 -- Lights, Camera, Action! On a night like this, as children get cosy and snuggly, Kylie will read a CBeebies Bedtime Story.

On Friday 18 October (6.50pm on CBeebies and BBC iPlayer), Kylie reads the timeless classic Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown and Clement Hurd, a bedtime story which has lulled generations of children to sleep.

In a great green room a little bunny is tucked up snuggly and safely in bed and is getting ready to say goodnight to all the familiar things in their room, one by one.

Kylie says “It was a real pleasure to read Goodnight Moon as my first CBeebies Bedtime Story. Just like the bunny in the book who says “goodnight” to all the familiar things in their room, I like to say “thank you” to rooms that I’ve been in just as I leave. Sweet dreams!”

This is the first of two stories Kylie has recorded for CBeebies, with details of her second story yet to be revealed.

CBeebies Bedtime Story is on each weekday at 6.50pm on CBeebies and BBC iPlayer, bringing families together and has been a daily, family favourite since the channel launched in 2002. It continues to get the nation reading with its star-studded guests, meaningful partnerships and brilliant stories that inspire a passion for the shared experience of reading.

A digital library of over 300 archived episodes is available on BBC iPlayer CBeebies channel.
