Now that’s a serious problem for any musician, but CBC has the solution… famous Canadian celebrities will share new books with Bookaboo so that he can rock the stage.
Come to Kids’ CBC Days, attend the Bookaboo readings with surprise guests, see him on our main stage in Kids’ CBC LIVE! and catch an episode in the Graham Spry Theatre.
Bookaboo will air Monday to Friday at 10 a.m. (ET). Celebrity guest stars include: Adam Beach, Fefe Dobson, Jason Priestly, Gordon Pinsent, Peter Mansbridge, Bret Hart, Jian Ghomeshi and many more.
