It's a fun text for lower level children because they can also relate to Bluey and the other adventures she goes on with and without her family.

The story is typical Bluey stuff - on one level it's a gentle narrative about discovering things on the beach, but the deeper level is about learning to enjoy your own company.Pretending to be a mermaid who has finally got her legs for the day, she embarks on a precious solo adventure, following Mum’s footprints along the shoreline.
