Bluey is an Australian animated TV show aimed at preschoolers, which first aired on ABC Kids on 1 October 2018. In April 2019, a collaboration was formed between BBC Studios and Penguin Random House Australia to release three Bluey books by the end of that year. These 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 position on the Australian weekly book charts in November 2019, collectively selling 350,000 copies by January 2020. Among them, "The Beach" emerged as the best-selling book of 2019, with sales totaling 129,516 copies within two months.

Subsequent releases included "Bob Bilby" and the craft-oriented "Easter Fun!" on 3 March 2020, followed by the colouring book "Big Backyard" on 31 March, and then "The Creek" on 28 April. By June 2020, combined sales of the initial nine books had reached one million copies; by October 2022, sales had expanded to five million across a total of 44 titles. In September 2020, Penguin Random House obtained worldwide distribution rights, facilitating publication in both US and UK markets. As of March 2024, a total of 76 titles have either been published or are scheduled for release in Australia.
