Bluey is an Australian animated television series for preschool children that premiered on ABC Kids on 1 October 2018. In April 2019, BBC Studios entered a partnership with Penguin Random House Australia with a deal to publish three Bluey books before the end of 2019. [1] "The Beach", "Fruit Bat", and a sticker activity book entitled "Time to Play", were released on 5 November 2019. [2] All three books were recognised as the highest-selling releases in the weekly Australian book charts of November 2019, [3] [4] and had sold a combined total of 350,000 copies by January 2020. [5] "The Beach" was the highest-selling title of 2019 and sold 129,516 copies in the two months after its release. [6] Additional books; "Bob Bilby" and "Easter Fun!", a craft book, were released on 3 March 2020, [5] [7] [8] followed by a colouring book entitled "Big Backyard" on 31 March, [9] and "The Creek" on 28 April. [10] The combined sales of the first nine books reached 1 million in June 2020; [11] the combined sales of 44 books reached 5 million in October 2022. [12] In September 2020, the partnership with Penguin Random House was expanded to include global distribution rights, allowing the books to be released in the United States and the United Kingdom. [13] As of March 2024, 76 titles have been released or are scheduled to be released in Australia.
