Pop icon Kylie Minogue and sister Dannii announced for new digital Bluey series
Bringing Aussie icons together
Kylie Minogue and her sister Dannii have been announced to read an episode of a new digital series of the hit kids TV show Bluey. The first of the new digital original series on YouTube called Bluey Book Reads is now available on YouTube, and sees the Australian sisters Kylie and Dannii reading Mini Bluey.
Speaking about her new role, Kylie said: "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! 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. It’s a funny, sweet and heart-warming tale of being yourself and encouraging others to do the same. I hope people have as much fun watching as Dannii and I had making this beautiful episode of Bluey Book Reads."
Her younger sister Dannii added: "There is life before Bluey, and life after! Once you know Bluey….you are hooked! The stories jump from the page and tickle me in the belly – it’s laugh out loud.
"It is fun for so many ages, as we can all relate to different members of Bluey's family. The Mini Bluey story was a joy to read with my sister, Kylie. A perfect tale of sisters finding out that although they are different, they are perfect just as they are. We hope it brings you a smile right to the last page."
