Bluey Book Read Series 1 surpasses 75 million views


BBC Studios together with Ludo Studio are thrilled to announce two brand-new Bluey Book Reads that are sure to get fans of the phenomenal TV show Bluey in the mood for Christmas.

'Christmas Eve with Verandah Santa' is available on the Bluey website bluey.tv, read by Australian stand-up comedian and TV presenter Adam Hills.

It's Christmas Eve and Bluey, Bingo and Muffin can't wait to open their presents. But Bluey's dad reminds them that no peeking or no presents! So, they decide to play a game called Verandah Santa to practice no peeking. What will Santa bring them?

Adam Hills says: 

"My kids are honestly more impressed that I'm reading a Bluey book than anything I've ever done. That includes going to the Coronation, meeting Lady Gaga, or the time I made pumpkin soup in an actual pumpkin."

On Sunday 1st December ‘Christmas Swim’ narrated by the Australian Olympic medal-winning swimmer Ian Thorpe will go live, and launch the @officialblueytv digital advent calendar.

It's Christmas Day and it's the perfect weather for a family swim. Bluey has a new toy - meet Bartlebee! How will Bartlebee handle his first Heeler Christmas? 

Ian Thorpe says: 

"When I was invited to read 'Christmas Swim,' I couldn’t resist diving right in (so to speak). Celebrating Christmas outdoors is such an iconic part of Aussie life, being a passionate swimmer, this story felt like a perfect fit. I hope all the Bluey fans around the world enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed bringing it to life."

Bluey Book Reads has captured the hearts of many, with Series 1 surpassing an impressive 75 million views across the official Bluey YouTube channel and bluey.tv. The stories featured in Bluey Book Reads series are published by Penguin Random House are based on episodes as-seen on the global hit TV animation, Bluey, which is produced by Ludo Studio and airs in Australia on ABC.

Bluey Book Reads brings these storybooks to life with a lineup of celebrity readers, making story-time even more special for families everywhere. Series 1 includes celebrities Kylie Minogue, Dannii Minogue, Eva Mendes, Tom Daley, Rob Delaney, Romesh Ranganathan and more.

Bluey Book Reads Series 2 is anticipated to debut across the Bluey digital channels next year and has another star-studded line up of readers.
