Description

From a well-known New York Magazine critic, the first major book about Bluey (for adults!) that explores the magic of the show’s storytelling and its profound resonance for contemporary parents

Widely acknowledged as one of the best kids shows of all time and now one of the most-watched series in the world, Bluey captures the glorious chaos of modern parenting and family like nothing else. Film and television writer (and Bluey fan) Kathryn VanArendonk considers the artistry of Bluey’s creator, Joe Brumm; explains why Bluey is such a landmark of children’s entertainment; and explores the philosophies that inform the show. Informed by extensive interviews with the show’s creatives, The Bluey Years describes what it was like to work on the show and the process of making beloved episodes. Brimming with insights and wisdom for anyone who has experienced, is about to enter or has recently survived “the Bluey years”, VanArendonk’s charming book will leave you happily sobbing about what it means to be a parent and child in the world today.
