Too many cheeky dogs by Johanna Bell and Dion Beasley. Sydney: Allen & Unwin, 2013. ‘On Monday I walked to my auntie’s house and guess what I saw?’ ONE yellow cheeky dog asleep on the floor. So begins a heart-warming story about a bunch of naughty camp dogs and their mischievous adventures. Join them in a romp through numbers, colours and days of the week but be careful… the dogcatcher might get you! The creation of ‘Too Many Cheeky Dogs’ is a remarkable story involving Dion Beasley, a young, Indigenous artist who is profoundly deaf and has muscular dystrophy, and first-time author Johanna Bell. More than two years in the making, Too Many Cheeky Dogs overcame distance, disability and cross-cultural difference, inspiring many along the way. The book is testament to how much people can achieve when they put their minds to it and they’re supported along the way. It doesn’t matter if you live in downtown Melbourne or three hours drive east of Alice Springs everyone knows at least one cheeky dog! Written initially to support Indigenous literacy, the mischievous canine characters in ‘Too Many Cheeky Dogs’ will win hearts all over the country. AIATSIS call number B B433.86/T1
