Hide AdBloom, 41, will be reading from We Are Together, written and illustrated by Britta Teckentrup, on November 9.
He said: '˜Through my travels as a Unicef Goodwill Ambassador, I've met children in countries all over the world, and witnessed first-hand how storytelling between adults and young children helps cement their bond.
'˜Children light up when being taken on imaginary adventures through storytelling, and it helps their creativity grow. It was great to be a part of CBeebies Bedtime Stories.'Â
The bedtime reading to be aired on November 9 is the first of two stories recorded with the actor.
Ewan McGregor, actor Chris Evans, George Ezra, Suranne Jones, Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill and Eddie Redmayne have all taken part in a CBeebies Bedtime Story.
The programme airs daily at 6.50pm.
