1 5 y separately published work icon Confessions of a Bad Dog James Cattell , Dorelle Davidson (illustrator), Lothian , 2002 Z944987 2002 single work picture book young adult

'Deep inside the Sir Bonzo Scruff Home for Lost Dogs, a lonely mutt craves to be adopted into a real home like all the cuter dogs. An unlikely godfather called 'Fred the Head' finally picks him out and he thinks he's got it made. But life on the outside isn't what he expected - Fred the Head leads a life of (unsuccessful) crime and gets our doggy hero into a series of hilarious misadventures. They inevitably get caught and put back inside (the nick and the dogs' home) for a short stretch, but soon a VERY peculiar looking woman (Fred the Head in drag) comes to claim the chastened dog and the two vow to go straight for evermore.'

1 5 y separately published work icon Albuman's Quest Dorelle Davidson , James Cattell , Port Melbourne : Lothian , 2001 Z823043 2001 single work picture book children's

'In the days before there were hens or even chickens, there was an egg. With the atmosphere of a medieval tale, a touch of gothic horror and a shade or two of teenage mutant ninja turtles, Albuman's Quest combines photography, sculpture, watercolour painting and jewellery. Like the fragile hero in a jerky old movie, Albuman stumbles through an increasingly menacing landscape. With the forest-dwelling Ovatia as his companion, he finally confronts the evil albuminoid and is reunited with his own kind. Created from eggs, doll's eyes and antique cutlery, the characters for the book were originally conceived as actors for a miniature theatre piece or short animated film. The authors soon realised that the story could be told through a series of 'stills' and the result is a picture book to tantalise older readers.'
