Penguin Random House Audio is set to release the first-ever Bluey audiobook collection this September. The collection brings together eight of the preschool brand’s best-loved stories in one audio title.

Bluey: The Beach and Other Stories launches globally on September 1st but is available to pre-order now. Narrated by Australian actress Miranda Tapsell – who voices Dougie’s Mum in the TV series – the collection also features sounds from original episodes.

The audiobook includes the popular stories Baby Race, Barky Boats, The Beach, Charades, Daddy Robot, Magic Xylophone, The Pool and Typewriter. This collection offers families a new way to enjoy some of Bluey’s most popular picture-book stories.

Jan Paterson, Director of Books and Audio Publishing at BBC Studios, said: “With Bluey continuing to be one of the top-performing children’s publishing brands, it’s exciting to see that audience appetite extend into audiobooks. The strength of engagement we’re seeing from families makes this a natural next step, giving listeners a new way to connect with Bluey through stories and characters they already know and love.”

Rianna Mezzullo, Publisher, Penguin Random House Children’s Licensing, added: “By bringing these much-loved picture books into an audio format, we’re expanding how Bluey stories can be experienced by young readers while highlighting the important role audio plays in sharing stories.”
