As much as I love Bluey (and I really do), I also know there are a bunch of equally amazing Australian children’s books to encourage and nurture your little tikes. And even if you’re not a fan of Bluey (or possibly have no idea what I’m talking about, to which I say, “WHAT?!?”), the following list is possibly the most ocker Aussie list of books you can ever read. Australian children’s books feel like a niche sub-genre, but our nation is a complex mix of people, wildlife, and landscapes. We’re fascinating and weird and similar in so many different ways. Our children’s books are the same. And if you really did come here looking for Bluey, I hope you found enough books to love Australia just a little bit more.
