Start the week with a good book! Swim School: A Bluey Storybook by Penguin Young Readers Licenses Eight-year-olds were around Bingo’s age when Bluey first came on the air, and there’s a good chance your kid adores the television show. Our family has grown up watching the beloved TV series, and we never pass up a chance to read a Bluey book. The “Swim School” episode from season two follows Bluey acting as a swim instructor and mom, dad, and Bingo as students trying to pass their swim test without “dobbing” on each other. Readers will love reading the familiar episode, and parents will love getting kids off screens.
