The new face of the iconic DC superhero Superman, David Corenswet, will take viewers on an imaginative journey with a CBeebies Bedtime Story on Friday July 11.
Corenswet reads super story What Does Daddy Do? by Rachel Bright, where Daisy wonders what her daddy does all day while she is at nursery. Dexter’s daddy is a fireman, Rosie’s daddy is a doctor, but Daisy’s just not sure what her daddy does all day. She knows he has ‘mountains of paperwork to climb’, and he always has to ‘fly’ and his boss is a dragon – but can he really be an explorersuperknight?
