TOO MANY CHEEKY DOGS

'On Monday I went to my auntie's house and guess what I saw? ONE yellow cheeky dog sleeping on the floor.'

So begins this cheeky story set in a remote Indigenous community, romping through numbers, colours and days of the week to the hilarious finale.

'A fun way of helping young readers learn their colours and days of the week ... a wonderful glimpse into life in a remote outback town.' Kids' Book Review.

Created with support from Arts Access Australia, the Rio Tinto Foundation and the Northern Territory Government.
