Bluey is a preschool-targeted Australian animated TV show that debuted on ABC Kids on 1 October 2018. In April 2019, a collaboration was formed between BBC Studios and Penguin Random House Australia to produce three Bluey books by the end of that year. Released on 5 November 2019, the titles included "The Beach," "Fruit Bat," and the sticker activity book "Time to Play." Each of these books reached the top position on the Australian weekly book charts in November 2019, collectively selling 350,000 copies by January 2020. Notably, "The Beach" emerged as the best-selling book of 2019, with sales totaling 129,516 copies within two months.

Following these, "Bob Bilby" and the craft-oriented "Easter Fun!" were launched on 3 March 2020; subsequently, the colouring book "Big Backyard" arrived on 31 March, and "The Creek" was released on 28 April. By June 2020, sales of the initial nine books surpassed one million copies, and by October 2022, sales across 44 titles reached five million. The partnership with Penguin Random House was extended in September 2020 to include worldwide distribution rights, allowing for publication in both the US and UK markets. As of March 2024, a total of 76 titles have been either published or slated for release within Australia.
