Bluey fans now have a new way to experience the blue heeler pup and her younger sister Bingo − one that invites them to join in on the adventure.
Bluey Book Reads, a new YouTube series launched by BBC Studios on Monday, connects kids to the world of reading with stories based on episodes from "Bluey" the show.
Two episodes of the read-along series will be made available each month on the official Bluey YouTube channel and on Bluey's officialwebsite Bluey.tv.
Here's what to expect.
Bluey Book Reads is celebrity-led
Famous Australian pop duo and sisters Kylie and Dannii Minogue kicked off Bluey Book Reads on Monday with "Mini Bluey," a story about "discovery and sisterly love" in which Bluey and Bingo prove to their dad, Bandit, how alike they are after he claims they are too different, according to a news release from BBC Studios.

"Bluey is an Aussie icon so when I was asked if I’d like to read Mini Bluey with my sister, it was an easy YES!" Kylie Minogue said in a statement. "This episode, 'Mini Bluey,' was perfect for us for obvious reasons: big sister and little sister! It reminded me so much of being kids growing up in Australia."
Dannii Minogue added in a statement that Bluey stories "jump from the page and tickle me in the belly."
“There is life before Bluey, and life after! Once you know Bluey ... you are hooked!" she said. "It’s laugh-out-loud. It is fun for so many ages, as we can all relate to different members of Bluey's family."
