Bluey is an Australian preschool animated television show that debuted on ABC Kids on 1 October 2018. In April 2019, BBC Studios collaborated with Penguin Random House Australia to release three Bluey books by the end of that year. The titles "The Beach," "Fruit Bat," and the sticker activity book "Time to Play" were launched on 5 November 2019. Each of these books reached the top of the Australian weekly book charts that November, collectively selling 350,000 copies by January 2020. "The Beach" emerged as the best-selling book of 2019, moving 129,516 copies within two months.

Following these, "Bob Bilby" and the craft-themed "Easter Fun!" were published on 3 March 2020, with the colouring book "Big Backyard" arriving on 31 March and "The Creek" released on 28 April. By June 2020, combined sales of the initial nine books hit one million copies, expanding to five million across 44 titles by October 2022. In September 2020, Penguin Random House extended its agreement with BBC Studios to include worldwide distribution rights, facilitating releases in both the United States and United Kingdom. As of March 2024, there are 76 Bluey titles either published or scheduled for release in Australia.
