'In this lively follow-up to Too Many Cheeky Dogs, the camp is invaded by all kinds of cheeky feral animals who are finally chased away by the resident cheeky dogs.
'At Canteen Creek where we live, there are cheeky dogs everywhere. But when the cheeky goats, donkeys, buffaloes and camels make mischief in the camp, the dogs just lie there - until those pesky animals really go too far. Then the cheeky camp dogs roar into action!' (Publication summary)
'Artist Dion Beasley’s first picture book Too Many Cheeky Dogs brims with mischievous canines chasing and playing their way through colours, numbers and the days of the week in a remote Northern Territory community - but the antics inside the cover are nothing compared to the story of how the book was made, writes Kate Wild.'
