About the author

Bluey is a 6 year old Blue Heeler pup who loves to play. Her parents and teacher give her lots of time to practice, which means she’s become very good at inventing games, helping everyone choose their roles and deciding on the rules. Her favourite games are ones that involve lots of other kids and grown-ups (especially her dad) and she mainly likes to pretend she’s a grown up doing grownup things herself.

Bluey is an Australian children's television program by the Emmy award-winning Ludo Studio for ABC KIDS and is co-commissioned by ABC Children's and BBC Studios.

Bingo heals all.
Omfg. They are a family of Heelers. They heal my childhood trauma. Am I okay? Probably not.

This is my little's favorite Bluey episode and I've finally made it to where I no longer tear up. Reading the book is a different ball game. I absolutely love the story and the art work is beautiful.

My kids absolutely love this book.

The artwork is fantastic and the story is so cute. They especially love the pages that have an extra fold out. Very fun, cute story!

I think I Love Bluey more than my 5 year old daughter! I love the illustrations and the story it teaches the children. So cute💙

Well this made me cry my eyes out.

When I saw this episode was being adapted into a Picture Book I was so excited! It is one of the most memorable of the series. However, this book does not even touch the grandeur and enchantment of the original story as portrayed in the episode. Too bad!

A great adaptation of one of the best Bluey episodes.

Cute. A little odd that it's written in the present tense.

Absolutely incredible story 😭❤️

What’s not to love about Bluey. The hard cover is gorgeous, and really nice size for reading to little ones in bed.

[Abbie · Rating 5 out of 5]

My daughter is obsessed with bluey and this is one of her favourite episodes everything about the book mirrors the sleepytime episode so the continuity is perfect for the children and it still evokes emotion

[SJARR ✨ · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am mildly embarrassed to admit to everyone that I (an adult), own a collection of Bluey books (for myself), because I just love the show that much.
I am even more embarrassed to admit that a few years ago when I saw that copies of this one in particular were FINALLY going to be available in the U.S, i literally pre-ordered it. Yes, yes I did.

Anyway, this is my favorite episode, and of course, my favorite of the books as well.
I cannot consume this media without crying at least a smidge. No matter how many times I experience it.

From Bingo’c cuteness, to Chili’s mothery love to all the floppy screen time- I love this one.

[Shay Tibbs · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is our FAVORITE Bluey episode in our house, it never fails to make us cry, so I was thrilled to get to read my daughter a copy of this title! It’s an absolute must-have for any Bluey fan, or any child who struggles with sleeping on their own. The moments for each character during the night are so relatable — the dream, the need for a water or potty break, the kiddos taking over the bed and we loved the small details on every page.

[Peacegal · Rating 3 out of 5]

Dreams and reality segue into one another as the Heeler family turns in for the night. There are parts that will be relatable for kids (a child's desire for independence) and asides for the parents (lots of middle-of-the-night wakeups and mini-dramas). These pups certainly have their jobs cut out for them. Cute illustrations and fold-out pages.

[Marian · Rating 5 out of 5]

A wonderful adventure with characters you may or may not know, but still so sweet and comforting to readers. We follow Bingo as she tries her “big girl sleep” and exploring her dreams. We also follow her family as they try to sleep. The illustrations are beautiful and appealing.

If you or your child are a fan of the show Bluey, this is a must-have for your collection!

[Sophie Crane · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is my absolute favourite episode of Bluey, I just don’t think it’s the best episode to translate to a book, some of the other episodes read much better as a book.

The music is so crucial to the Sleepytime episode, and it’s hard to get the emotion of the episode across in a book. I’m a crying mess every time I watch the episode

[Shannan · Rating 3 out of 5]

Gorgeous book with gate folds. Borrow from the library with care. I didn’t like the story at first because it is metaphorical and my 3 year old knows his planets and wanted each one in the booked named. After the third read I could interpret better what was happening for Bingo with commentary. It was a popular bed time book.

[J.P. Sirro · Rating 3 out of 5]

I’d give Sleepytime a 3 out of 5 stars. The story itself is sweet but felt a little slower and less engaging compared to other Bluey books we’ve read. That said, the illustrations are absolutely beautiful — soft, dreamy, and perfect for bedtime. The artwork alone makes it worth having on the shelf, even if it’s not our go-to for storytime.

[Matt Cash · Rating 3 out of 5]

The episode this book is based on is absolutely wonderful and Bluey at its best.

The book, on the other hand, has annoying fold out pages that make reading to an infant difficult when you’re holding him. If you make a note to describe the animation on page, it’s a much better story than just reading the words

[Jessica · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is stunning. I love Bluey way more than I should as an adult but this book is gorgeous and oversized. My version is the Australian one - the American version comes out later this year. Recommended.

[Aisling · Rating 5 out of 5]

Such a beautiful story of how even when we've left the world behind and ascended into our dreams where anything happen we still crave the fundamentals of our happiness and nothing beats a hug from Mom.

[Fi's Journey · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a iibrary book that we borrowed and we only read once. I don't think my daughter was really into this story. I liked it enough and I enjoyed this as a episode where the music makes the story more profound and amazing.

[Brianna Shrout · Rating 4 out of 5]

The flaps in the book are a bit more difficult to navigate with younger children. We will probably put this one up until she’s a bit older. It was a good screen to page adaptation. The illustrations were great and true to the original episode.

[Erin Thompson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very cute! I love the show Bluey and I remember this episode well. It’s a bit abstract and metaphorical so it may be a bit harder for some little kids to understand but it makes up for it with great pictures and planets. The pull out pages are cool to have too.

[Alyce Caswell · Rating 4 out of 5]

If you want to know what the episode was really about, then you have to read this book. I suppose I had an inkling... but it's nice to have it explained. I wasn't so keen on the fold out pages, since I have a kid and I'm not sure how long they'll remain intact.

[Cheryl]

Can't rate because I just don't know how I feel about it. I think it would make a cool tv episode, which it apparently is/was. It's a little too surreal and confusing, esp. with the fold-out double pages, for a book. Imo.
