CBeebies Storytime

CBeebies Storytime introduces children to a world of stories through beautiful, interactive story books. The app aims to inspire a love of stories in every child in the UK and support early years reading.

The 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. All the stories are free to download, with no in-app purchases.

Children can settle down with the CBeebies Bedtime Stories collection, go on a big sleepover with the Vegesaurs, an exciting adventure with the Octonauts, take a woodland walk with the Colourblocks, save the day with Supertato, have fun in the snow with Mr Tumble, wind down with Bing and Hoppity Voosh, go on a detective adventure with Numberblocks, take a trip to the theatre with Alphablocks, earn your story badge with Hey Duggee, travel back in time and meet the dinosaurs with Andy, join Peter Rabbit and friends as they go on an adventure, go on a treasure hunt with Love Monster and more!

Storytime features playful interactions, popular CBeebies characters, well-loved authors, and high-quality stories so children can enjoy reading, playing, and learning.

Our app seeks to support traditional physical books by offering a magical interactive journey that encourages a love of stories and an immersive reading experience for children.
