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's approach to hot-button issues like indulgence, play-as-education, and what to do with the kid who cannot sit still. Informed by extensive interviews with the show's key creatives, The Bluey Years describes what it was like to work on the show and the process of making beloved episodes like Sleepytime, Cricket, and Takeaway. 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.
