Bluey Book Reads - Season 3

Isla Fisher reads “Bingo”, a story about Bingo learning how to play by herself. When Bluey has a playdate at Chloe’s, Bingo is left wondering what to do. But all the games she knows needs more than one person! Luckily Dad has a problem that needs solving.

Toni Collette reads “Cricket.” During a friendly neighbourhood cricket match, none of the dads can bowl out Rusty, whose hours of practice have made him a formidable batter. Lucky’s Dad pulls out all the stops and bowls a fast one. But the dads have underestimated Rusty yet again. Fast bowling used to be his weakness, but with his dad’s help, he learnt to face his fear and now has no trouble hitting the ball out of the park. Instead, showing true sportsmanship, the young player makes an unexpected play that changes the game.

Tan France reads “Bedroom”, a story about Bluey getting her own room. But when bedtime comes, she misses her sister Bingo. The girls are given the opportunity to have their own bedrooms when Bluey and Bingo’s old nursery is cleared out. Mum is lost in nostalgia and Bluey can’t understand why she’s so affected by a ‘room’. But through the process of splitting their possessions across two rooms, we see just how important Bingo is in Bluey’s life. And, when it’s time to sleep apart, Bluey prefers to have Bingo sleep over instead. Now Dad will have to put everything back to how it was in the morning.

DanTDM reads “The Doctor”, a story about Honey going to Bingo’s Doctors surgery. Receptionist Bluey welcomes Honey to Dr Bingo’s surgery, asking what’s wrong. Deciding on a sore knee (despite Bluey suggesting bigger) Honey finds herself stuck in the waiting room as the more exciting cases get priority – from alligators on heads to cuddled cactuses. When Rusty jumps to the front of the line thanks to his uncontrollable baby hippo burps, Honey worries she might never get a turn. Bluey cheers her up by remarking on how funny she can be, which prompts Honey to show how her tail can wag her body. Declaring this to be a ‘real pickle’ Bingo ushers Honey at last into her office.

Julia Stiles reads “BBQ”, a story about lunchtime with Bluey’s family. It’s Sunday lunch on Bluey’s back deck! But every BBQ needs side dishes! Bingo’s relaxing sit-down has to wait when her cousins task her with finding every colour capsicum for the world’s best pretend salad! Run off her feet to gather the ingredients, she finds green leaves from the succulents, yellow petals from the hanging plants, and red flowers from the Poinciana tree. But wait, she can’t relax yet, she forgot about the dressing! One out-of-control hose later and Bingo’s a muddy mess! And by the time she’s finished, Bingo will have a newfound respect for how much work goes into a good meal!
