Superman star David Corenswet to read CBeebies Bedtime Story
What Does Daddy Do? follows the story of Daisy, who wonders what her father does all day while she is at nursery.
She knows that Dexter's father is a fireman and Rosie's dad is a doctor, but Daisy is not sure what her father does all day, despite knowing he has 'mountains of paperwork to climb', and he always has to 'fly' and his boss is a dragon.
Corenswet plays Superman in James Gunn's remake of the classic superhero movie, with the character, whose everyday alter ego is Clark Kent, having made his first appearance on the big screen in 1978.
He is joined in the cast by Nicholas Hoult as villain Lex Luthor and Marvellous Mrs Maisel actress Rachel Brosnahan as Superman's love interest, Lois Lane.
The new film has been described as 'the true beginning of the DC Universe' and sees Twisters actor Corenswet protecting Earth from Hoult's scheming villain.
Corenswet has also appeared in CBS Sherlock Holmes drama Elementary, Netflix political thriller House Of Cards, and Netflix comedy drama film Look Both Ways.

‘I couldn't risk coming clean and telling her': IRA bomber shares how he told partner the truth of his guilty in new book
Psychologists say the BBC reality show Traitors is compelling to audiences worldwide because it taps into universal themes of trust, deception and the human psyche. But during the Troubles, these themes were a reality for many couples, family members and friends turned against each other in a backdrop that had none of the opulence of a luxurious Scottish castle, nor the promise of a sizeable cash prize if the deception paid off.

William and Kate Middleton's fears over move with kids after Royal Family 'bad blood'
There has been speculation that the Prince and Princess of Wales might want to leave their Adelaide Cottage home for a larger property - but Jennie Bond has ruled out one potential new home The Prince and Princess of Wales appear to have set up a relaxed home life with their children at their cosy Windsor cottage. But with their three children - Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis - getting older and William in particular being handed more royal responsibilities, could a house move be on the cards? It has been suggested that in time, the Wales family might want to upsize from Adelaide Cottage to something a bit bigger - with the historic Fort Belvedere being one of the mooted properties. It comes after reports Prince William was 'human shield' in tense moment between Kate Middleton and Meghan. However, according to royal expert Jennie Bond, if a move in the future is on the cards for the family it will all come down to one thing - what is best for their children. The former BBC royal correspondent told the Mirror: "Well, the first thing that has to be said is that this is just a rumour. William and Catherine have been so set on giving their children a more 'normal' upbringing than royal youngsters before them that it's hard to imagine them wanting to move to what is, in effect, a castle — albeit it a relatively small one. "However, it may well be that they feel they are outgrowing Adelaide Cottage - four bedrooms for a family of five doesn't leave much room for visiting relatives or friends, or for kids' sleepovers. "Whatever they decide, William and Catherine will have their children's happiness at heart. For them, preserving a relaxed, cosy family life - as close to some sort of normality as possible given their status - is a top priority." When it comes to Fort Belvedere, it is a a stunning gothic revival mansion in Windsor Great Park, built in the 18th century, and was the preferred home of Edward Vlll before he abdicated to marry Wallis Simpson. It was renovated by Edward who put in a swimming pool, tennis court and stables and it is a huge property which has a long path to the entrance and even has a moat running around it. And Jennie added: "Fort Belvedere — where Edward VIII signed his abdication papers — would certainly be a step up in terms of grandeur. With up to eight bedrooms, acres of garden, a lake, a swimming pool, tennis courts and a polo stud its appeal is obvious. Charlotte and Catherine love playing tennis, and the whole family would enjoy the outdoor pool. "Although it's still pretty Gothic looking, the Fort was elegantly renovated by its private tenants — the late Galen Weston, a Canadian billionaire, and his wife Hilary. They were great friends of the royal family. "There are also about three cottages in the grounds, which could be useful for staff or protection officers." Although an imminent house move is not believed to be in the offing, another royal home the Waleses have also been linked to for a future move is Royal Lodge. The house is currently occupied by Prince Andrew, although it is reported the King would prefer him to give it up in favour of the smaller Frogmore Cottage - a former home of Prince Harry and Meghan. With its 30 rooms, Royal Lodge would certainly provide William, Kate and their children with more space than their current home. But Jennie warned: "There's been much talk of the Wales's wanting to move to Royal Lodge, but that is already a cause of bad blood within the family as Prince Andrew refuses to budge. Fort Belvedere could be an inspired alternative which would be less provocative than taking over Andrew's home."
