Bluey: Bath book by Bluey

Bluey: Bath Book is based on the well known and loved Australian TV series Bluey. Manufactured..." to the highest possible standards, in accordance with Australasian toy safety standards", Bluey: Bath Book, as with all products for use with young children, is recommended to be used with adult supervision. Of course, Bluey Bath Book is plastic and waterproof. No one would leave a child alone in a bath - however safety information comes with the product. First published by Puffin books, an imprint of Penguin Random House in 2026, Bluey Bath Book was printed and bound in China. 

 Bluey is, of course, a Blue Heeler- a quintessentially Australian iconic sheepdog. In Australia there is nothing more Australian than a Heeler called Blue.  What a wackadoo story wraps itself around this Bluey though! Bluey and her little Red Heeler sister Bingo, are in the bath and they have set up the bath as a Burger shop. Their first customer is Dad... a genial, good natured, bigger, male version of Bluey. In an  imaginative and playful story we see Bluey taking on the role of taking orders while Bingo is the chef in the background. Bluey shows initiative, creativity and a can-do attitude when Dad runs out of money by quickly turning the burger shop into a bank. A ridiculous number of burgers are ordered. Dad runs out of money and ends up having to work in the bath shop to pay for all his burgers. 

Wackadoo - this book is a lot of fun, full of the Bluey images we all know. There's lots of energy and opportunities for playacting. Ideal for babies, toddlers and preschoolers, Bluey: Bath Book is a wonderful addition to the Bluey book collections that already include picture, activity, board and colouring books and the ever popular TV series. Everyday situations are depicted where the characters overcome problems either by themselves or with the help of a loving parent/adult. Psychologists have found that Bluey books touch on important aspects of resilience including trusting relationships, emotional regulation, problem solving, empathy and more. 

That is why Bluey: Bath Book is recommended... besides the fact that it is a lot of fun too!
