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.

This book was ok. It definitely was not as good as watching the episode on tv but it was better than some of the other Bluey books I have read. My main complaint is that most Bluey episodes have some kind of a lesson in them for either the kids, parents, or both, and this book pretty much misses the whole lesson of the episode. The whole plot is that they’re trying to play charades and include the younger ones in the game and Bluey learns that she has to take care of the “littlies” as she and her Nana call them. While Bluey does make this comment in the book, the conversations leading up to it are pretty much nonexistent in this book. Also, in the episode, Bluey and Bingo learn that at Nana’s house everyone gets what they want which is important to the episode because Nana tries so hard to make all the grandkids happy and asks the older ones for help to make the younger ones happy but this point isn’t at all included in this story. So while the book itself isn’t that bad, it does miss the main points of the episode which do take away from the quality of the book. I would recommend other Bluey books before I would recommend this one. Others are definitely better.

I brought this Bluey book for my daughter and myself. I love reading to my daughter and we love watching Bluey together.

This one was a sweet and light-hearted tale of the relationship and bonding between cousins. Muffin is an interesting and funny character. My partner likes her the best. My daughter and me really like Bingo.

I'm not a fan of this particular story. It's teaching children that it's alright to keep throwing a fit until you get your way. Then, to act like you're better than all the other children who were forced to let you have your way.

This is not a good message to be showing children.

Bluey books are much less good without Bandit in them.

Bluey and Bingo play Charades with their nana and a bunch of other dogs including Socks and Muffin - a dog not some cake like item.
Anyway Socks has apparently got the brains of a cabbage and Muffin loses the plot over wanting to be a ballerina - and the story goes on.
