Bluey is a preschool-targeted Australian animated 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 reached the top of the Australian book charts in November 2019, collectively selling 350,000 copies by January 2020. Notably, "The Beach" became the best-selling book of 2019, with sales of 129,516 copies within two months.

Following this, "Bob Bilby" and the craft-themed "Easter Fun!" were released on 3 March 2020, succeeded by the colouring book "Big Backyard" on 31 March, and then "The Creek" on 28 April. By June 2020, sales for the initial nine books had reached one million copies; by October 2022, combined sales across 44 titles had soared to five million. The partnership with Penguin Random House expanded in September 2020 to include worldwide distribution rights, allowing launches in both the US and UK markets. As of March 2024, there are 76 titles either published or planned within Australia.
