Better outcome than "Charades" had with Muffin's behavior.

Now at first I didn't like how Muffin acted in this episode, and didn't like how she was in "Charades", but for this episode, Stripe tells Muffin that she's "the most special kid in the world", which makes her think that she can do whatever she wants and not have to follow any rules. This made it hard for Bluey and Bingo to play Library with her. She would be loud and noisy with her Cat Squad bike, and she would never return her books on time. Bluey and Bingo got fed up with Muffin's action and told Chili about it, and at first she told Bluey that she should let Muffin play however she likes, until Bingo said the reason she didn't play properly was that she was told that "she's the most special kid in the world and that she doesn't have to follow rules", which made Stripe tell Muffin that to him and her mom, she is special, but maybe not to everyone else, and that she should follow rules like everyone else. Muffin then agreed and finally plays right with Bluey and Bingo, which made them have a good time.

Like I said, I didn't approve on how she acted in Charades, nor for the solution for it, but this episode was definitely a better approach for resolving Muffin's behavior.

Specialist

Some may see Library as a controversial episode about self-esteem special canines running amok, but it takes a keen look at the effect of a parent reassuring their kid is special. Does it mean the kid can run amok with no inhibition, this episode poses in a Bluey way. What would Dr Spock say you may ask.

Strong parenting episode
snoozejonc25 July 2024
Some Bluey episodes contain fairly unsubtle messages for parents in how certain interactions can either cause problems or lead to certain types of behaviour. This is a good example of that type of lesson delivered via the characters Muffin and Stripe. Like someone else already pointed out has a good positive conclusion and is (as Bandit would say) a valuable life lesson.

Importantly it's all portrayed in a very entertaining sketch involving Muffin at her outrageous best whilst playing with Bluey and Bingo. All characters are used well, including the parents. I love Muffin's relentlessness when in a certain frame of mind.
