CBeebies Storytime: Read

British Broadcasting Corporation

About this game

The CBeebies Storytime app is filled with free interactive storybooks to inspire a love of reading in kids. The children’s stories in the app promote CBeebies’ core values, with themes of inclusivity, sharing, friendship and more. There are two reading modes to choose from, so children can read independently or with a grown-up.

Choose books from CBeebies favourites such as Vegesaurs, Octonauts, Colourblocks, Supertato, Mr Tumble, Bing, JoJo & Gran Gran, Numberblocks, Alphablocks, Hey Duggee and Peter Rabbit as well as stories read by familiar faces in our CBeebies Bedtime Stories collection. Books are free to download, with no in-app purchases.

Each story is brought to life with magical things to touch and play with. These imaginative stories for kids are designed to support early years reading, so you and your child can enjoy reading, playing, and learning.

Children can join Vegesaurs, Octonauts, Colourblocks, Supertato, Mr Tumble, Bing, Alphablocks, Numberblocks, Duggee, Andy, Peter Rabbit and JoJo & Gran Gran as they go on amazing adventures!
