Olivia Colman reads a CBeebies Bedtime Story
Peep Show and Fleabag star Olivia Colman is set to present an edition of the CBeebies format Bedtime Story.
On Friday 8th November at 6:50pm, Colman will be entertaining CBeebies viewers with a reading of the much-loved modern classic The Gruffalo's Child by author Julia Donaldson and illustrator Axel Scheffler.
The book, which was published in 2004, has the following blurb: "One wild and windy night, the Gruffalo's child ignores her father's warnings and bravely tiptoes out into the snow in search of the Big Bad Mouse. On her big adventure, she meets Snake, Owl and Fox, but there's no sign of the fabled Mouse. He doesn't really exist... or does he?"
The BBC says: "The Oscar-winning actress brings the sequel to The Gruffalo to life for a new generation of fans, bringing families together for the best homegrown storytelling".
Colman, who stars in new film Paddington In Peru, says: "I have loved CBeebies Bedtime Stories with my children over the years, I was so excited to be able to read one. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did."
